A Capitol Building cop at the end told me there is no way to know for sure but he estimated 2 to 300,000. He said they only expected 50,000.

There were spirited discussions afterward on the streets and on our bus regarding why it may heve been over 1 million. Mainly the extent of the crowd when it was stretching from the Capitol up Pennsylvania Ave and up the Mall.

It was a large crowd any talk of 70,000 is nonsense.

Beautiful group, zero altercations, zero litter. Real middle Americans of the highest quality.

Well, I'd like to see some aerial photo comparisons between today's event and the "Million Man March", and the Obama inauguration, for that matter.

You were there, as I was. Do you really think there were as few as only 300,000? There were easily more people here today than for the Obama inauguration, which I believe was 1.2 million.
