Obama draws 20,000 in MN today, Fox estimates "tens of thousands" in DC...
For the 9/12 marketing scheme. Given Fox's estimate of "3-4 blocks full of people", that's probably about 20,000 too*.

So basically Obama draws in one city, the same number of people Beck bussed from around the country to gather in DC.

And that should tell you all you need to know about teabagger "hype" versus teabagger reality.


*My estimate of 20,000 comes from when Obama rallied in my neighborhood in West Philly last fall. Obama filled 4 large city blocks and the crowd was estimated at 20,000.
Feel free to check out these pics for crowd size comparisons.

2. Yeah, sorry, not hundreds of thousands. No way.
I'll give them 50,000 if I'm feeling generous (and counting all of the porta porties).
