11. Now I get It

If there are 9 out of ten Democrats in Philly I can see why Tweety said 10k
He was referring to pubs. Now if that many pubs were at the rally that really tells you something

12. I thought there were WAY more than 10,000 too!

I have no idea how to estimate crowds, but when I saw that crowd on the MSNBC show, no matter which way they panned the samera, you couldn't see an end to the crowd! That looked like a lot more than the numbers at even a good rally.

I also think police & fire departments tend to always estimate on the lower side.

16. Kerry / Bush Crowd Comparisons?

Has anyone done a comparision of the number of people at each of the major Kelly and Bush rallies? Should make interesting reading.

19. They sure tout Bush's big crowds -

My dad said "they" (cable news, I'm sure) were saying 250,000 this weekend at a rally in Florida.

I think there were that many there today. You could look down the Parkway and see a solid mass of people all the way to City Hall.

22. There's a POLL with the article about this event at MSNBC

that could use some help! Question is: "Who would you choose if election were this week?" Poll is here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6092749/

38. Yeah. Kerry had at least 50,000 in Portland
