6. So far the crowd is not bigger than the one the crybaby on Fox got... |
|
I have a hunch what a lot of people are actually interested in is whether this rally could match Beck's. So far it is definitely not as big from what I see on TV. It will need to fill in a lot to match that.

7. I know. Ed Schultz was the only person promoting this on cable news... |
|
and he kept bragging that this would be bigger than Beck's rally. So far, it's not. I REALLY hope it fills up.

13. It's not a bad turnout... |
|
...and I am enjoying watching it, but it is pretty clearly nowhere near as big as what Beck got.
My concern is that what most political observers really care about is turnout size rather than message. Most of the talking heads are only interested in whether this rally could rival Beck's rally. They should try to spread out more if possible, manage the rally attendants a little better to cover as much lawn/green as possible.
Schultz is doing a good job, but I'd like to have seen him speak much longer.

71. It was announced at the rally that the crowd had surpassed Beck's. |
|
Ed Schultz came on stage and said that an aerial photo had confirmed that the number of people were more than his.

38. I think it was poorly organized, I was planning to go myself |
|
but was unable to find a bus anywhere in the state of Ohio. I checked with the USW site thinking they would have a bus at least from the headquarters in Pittsburgh, but all I got was redirected back to the One Nation site. If I would have known it would be so poorly organized I would have just planed to drive there.

15. My opinion is they should have waited and had this rally in the last weekend before the election |
|
they only promoted this rally for a month. October the 30th should have been the date

19. I can only compare it to Beck's rally... |
|
and from the video, it looks like about 2/3rds of his crowd or less. Hopefully, it will fill in. It IS getting more crowded.

63. regardless of crowd size this is a much more AMERICA looking rally than those at Becks |
|
there was no diversity in that rally maybe a couple of blacks to make it look good but no Latinos,Asians and no threats of political figures like that crap you see from the tea party

70. I think Ed should have been promoting the rally will be more diversed than Becks rally instead of |
|
saying we will get more than 300,000 more people because you know the media is going to say it didn't compare to Becks rally. to be honest I don't think he got 300,000 some people bought into that number including some progressives like Cenk and Bill Press
