1. There won't be any trouble, and don't call me Shirley.
Seriesly, the porta-potties will probably outnumber the teabaggers. Why dignify those goobers by bothering to protest them?

3. lol!!!!!
I'm guessing Faux News will say, around a million people, with only 1500 pro Obama protesters.

They will do the usual hypocritical spin and say, the LIBERAL media are downplaying the crowds.

I'm not sure if the tears will flow from Beck, in all seriousness how do you think he will play it?

He wants the crowd to be angry, but peaceful, there will tv screens all over the place, so he can direct the behavior of supporters.

In a way it will be interesting to see as a social experiment and how people can be suckered into believing anything.

2. I work in the District
And the number of people I saw coming through the Holocaust Museum was about the same as it's been all week.

4. I remember the last teabag party
With Neil cauvto caught lying, and Hannity saying as they panned over the all white, all old, all repug crowd, "This is great, there are people of all races here"

5. They did have people of all races there ...
just that they were waiting to do their jobs of catering to the white folk, and cleaning up afterward ...

you know, working people ...

7. What would be considered a faliure for Faux News (crowd wise)
Seriously, what would be considered a failure for Faux and Beck??, they of course will lie about crowd numbers and excuse the media of doing the same.

But what be a disappointing crowd number for them? 30 or 40 thousand in DC???

11. There's an outside chance of rain -
it's drizzling here right now, mild, nice. It's been like that this week, so the ground will be squishy down there on the Mall.

I hope a lot of them bring blankets, and get nice and comfy......................

10. In our area, they won't be marching. Each person can speak for 2 minutes.
The last time they marched, they didn't have enough people to make an impact, so maybe that is why they decided to just let people speak their piece.

From what I could tell, they walked a few blocks in a pair here...a couple more there...it wasn't enmasse. Looked silly.

14. So are they hosting an open podium?? This could bring out the N word with this crowd. I hope
someone gets it on camera if someone lets it fly.

18. I didn't even go down to check how many people attended.
Nothing would surprise me, although it seemed to be sheeple who attended the last one. Not vocal or loud.
