Reply #8: The Grand Rapids rally was 20,000?

[Carni]

I was at the Taylor MI rally and there was a good sized crowd

Not good for me personally, mind you...I went with the misguided impression that I would get some great photos at a small pretty much unpublicized event.

NOT QUITE!

The crowd looked huge...the Miami Herald reported 6000 but it looked like more than that to me (it's so hard to tell)

There were no people "bussed in" either these were all people that brought themselves to the event (Go protest a bush event and you will see what I mean...they bus his "local supporters" in from other areas)

I attended a Gore rally in 2000 and it was tiny compared to what I attended yesterday...in fact Jon Bon Jovi was playing and you could have walked right up to him (we did)

If Kerry didn't get a "poll bounce" from the convention then I don't know where the hell all these crowds are coming from!
