It must have been earlier in the hour -- I missed it! Thanks for volunteering though. MSNBC is just about to do an update on the numbers here in DC.

Thanks for doing the live thread. Many streets in the Mall area are closed already. There was a St. Patricks Day run along Pennsylvania Avenue this morning that shut down roads for blocks.

The antis will have a good sized crowd today. The weather's great, so both sides will be comfortable. Plenty of cops everywhere. Lots of media trucks/vans at their rally site.

After the live interview, the WRC-4 reporter recorded interviews with the commie lawyer and me for later broadcast.

tgslTakoma did a phone interview with CBS radio this morning, also.
