The number was considerably smaller - around 20,000. The 2m figure was an uncorroborated, and subsequently retracted, statistic from Michelle Malkin.

Not sure about this at all. You look at Andrew Sullivan, a lot of these people are highly suspect. As for the economics, there's a lot of panic about. Cooler heads will prevail....

Thanks, TB, for helping to spread the word. No it was probably not two million attendees. Those sorts of numbers would have shut the city down--traffic, transit, hotels, etc.

But it was some significant multiple (30x?) of the crowd in Minneapolis to attend Obama'a pep rally for health care, held in the most 'leftish' city in a state with a long history of leftist politics.

These people drove and flew themselves from across the country, at their own expense. As you know, the US is a big place, and a drive to DC from, say, Kansas, is a real investment of time and cash.

The Minneapolis crowd, by contrast, I would suspect would be mainly local, and a number bussed in by Obama's people, if history is any teacher.

The revulsion with the behaviour of the Obama administration is widespread and increasingly vocal.

Many people cheer for 'Congressman Joe' for his outburst at Obama's speech. His only mistake was to apologize to anyone, especially Obama.

Thanks for informing your readership.
