1. Some crowds will get as high as 100,000 in some cities.

We never get this here in NYC. I wish we could sometime. The only large Political event i went to was the RNC protests in 2004 here in nyc. Over 200,000 people came. And i went to an anti-war protest in 2007 in d.c.. 500,000 showed up to that.

2. Campaign staff usually triple the real number that showed.

4. Yeah, why would they use the campaign staff versus the police's est for Obama? n/t
