6. The 150,000 estimate came from the rally. Thought the NPS no longer gave crowd estimates.
That said, it surely did look like more than 150,000 there.

7. It looks as big or bigger than the Million Mom March
I was at the MMM and at several other huge marches in DC since 1969, and from what the pics show, this is easily more than a half million.

And don't forget the Metro trains have been jam-packed with people trying to get there.

11. Rally pictures. I copied these links from here at DU.
Apologies and remove if I shouldn't have, but I am guessing that the person who posted them wants exposure. People need to see this:
