Predictions for 24 to 26th March
A crowd of 500 Thousand will show up

The media will say around 40 thousand turned up

The repugs will put plants into the crowd to cause trouble.

The media will interview the planted repugs who will call themselves communists and they will start burning flags and using explicit langague to try and make the protesters look bad.

There will many emotional speeches from Marines who went to Iraq and family members of Marines speaking out against the war.

The media will show none of this, but they will show a pro war supporter with a cross and a flag saying how much they love America and Bush.

A large percentage of the crowd will be African Americans, the media of course wont show these people, but they will interview African American Bush*t supporters.

People from all walks of society will be there hand in hand doing what real patriots do and that is speaking out against what they see is a wrong by thier government.

The protest will be a wonderful experience for the 500 Thousand people who show up, and the BUsh*t adminstartion will see how much the public doesnt support them. The media though will spin it like the love child of Coulter and OLielly.

1. The media.....
The corporate media has been the enemy. However everyone should deluge them. Its possible they've seen the light now(besides Fox/CBS) and would cover the whole event impartially.

Particularly get down on CNN, they have become investigative journalists lately haven't they? That's a first time..

2. Are news helicopters
allowed in DC airspace?

Because it is easy to estimate numbers from the air.

I think the coverage will be more positive for the protestors.

6. They can, over certain parts of DC. BUT, during one of these events
the FAA will issue a TFR, a temporary flight restriction. For example, while shrub was in Crawford, there was a TFR around the ranch. Only police and military helicopters were allowed.

If there are thousands there next week, they'll probably issue a TFR. They're very capricious about it.

4. My predictions
Over 1,000,000 will show from all walks of life.

The media will be there and we will finally have our plight shown.

The repugs will put plants into the crowd, but the media will nail them on this.

There will be emotional speeches from many, but we won't hear them because the crowd is so huge :)

The counter protesters will be small in number. There will be plenty of law around including being planted into the crowd to ensure a violent revolution does not begin.
