Reply #66: Just got back. Biggest rally of my life.

[Faygo Kid]

I have been to huge rallies (anti-war), and sporting events (U-M stadium with 110,000), but I have never seen anything like this. It's not just the mall; every inch of the Smithsonian Museums' steps were covered. It wasn't just the Mall; we walked up 7th Street, and the road was closed and packed. Will be back with pics, but it was awesome.

I see already that the Washington Post isn't talking numbers, and haven't really seen estimates. I can't guess; have never seen anything like it. I do note the Post is downplaying it. Major papers across the nation, like the Detroit Free Press, aren't mentioning it, even though Beck was a lead story for them. Anyway, don't get your hopes up. By Sunday a.m., it will be maybe half as many as Beck in the media, even though it was actually 10 times the number.

But it was a very special day anyway. Gridlock doesn't even begin to describe it. Thanks to all from across the nation who joined us in DC today.
