I don’t have any competing way to gauge the number of people in DC today, from any picture or representation , but my instincts tell me it was a lot closer to your figure of 110K, than the figure I have read from 2 sources, which was TEN times that, if not 18 times that.
That seems absurd. That many people would have too much trouble even getting into the city , not to mention the intersection where they are seen to congregate. My idea for the next demo would involve hundreds of strategically selected cities and towns, PLUS DC. The numbers will have to be 50 times bigger than what was reported today, because we do want to shake their sense of sanity , don’t we? What’s called for is PsyOps that every citizen can do himself. Just as we have been doing.

110k does not seem like very many. We get a lot more than that for Gasparilla Pirate Festival in Tampa every year. In 2001 we had our parade when the super bowl was here and 500k came. Seems like DC crowd must have been more than little ole Gasparilla.

When promise keepers went to Dc in 97 there was an aerial photo and it was estimated that there was over 1 million men there. We had been planing the event since the early 90’s only to have the million man march that only produced around 100,000 men when the park board stated that it was that low they sued and and the park board no longer gives an estimation of how many attend any rallies since then. We were several blocks wide and from one point another. They tried to say that there were not that many but there was lots of tree cover and it was jam packed.

someone said the dc police calculated 1.5 million

It’s been fun watching the MSM having to keep revising its numbers when it became so apparent that they were low-balling the figures that they couldn’t maintain the lie. “Thousands”, then “Tens of Thousands”. I think that “2 million” figure of Pelosi’s is the usual effort to push a number that will later enable them to claim the effort failed because their inflated number wasn’t reached. Looking at that time lapse, I’d go for a hundred and fifty grand, but the one odd thing is that the time lapse has the flag at half staff, and the webcam has shown it at full staff most of the day. Odd, that.

As a veteran NASCAER fan and A person who attended today’s rally, I darn sure tell ya...there was not 110k on the capital today.

easily a million...and that is not a stretch.

I was there. The idea that 110K would be an appropriate number is just plain wrong. As another poster noted, I too have been to large athletic events with nearly 100,000 in attendance. The number of attendees at the rally dwarfs those numbers. And many just went directly to the capitol without marching in the parade up PA avenue. There were at least hundreds (vice tens) of thousands in attendance.
