According to the Washington DC Fire Department, there were between 60,000 and 70,000 people

106PM. ABC News reporting on television “two million people,” yet the website reads “Thousands March.”

1239PM. Interesting comparison. CNN stream is of the stage, and Fox News is of the crowd.

You can follow #912DC on Twitter for updates in the hundreds constantly coming in.

Interesting that another article showcased the ugly Obama/Hitler and Joker signs. One person, who was there, said that it was very orderly, they didn't trash up the place, and that there was a broad spectrum of Americans calmly announcing their opinions.

Just saw from Politico that Axelrod said that "..they don’t represent a mainstream view."

I thought 2 million might be pushing it too, but I've seen some photos. I know what a crowd of 70,000 have attending many football games. 70,000 is dwarfed by what I see in the photos. I also read an account of a person from the area who witnessed the Obama inauguration and the 9/12 march. The report is the 9/12 march was at least equal. Crowd estimates for Obama inauguration - 2,000,000.

On top of that, there were millions around the nation that showed for events in their areas.

Initially it was a British paper that gave the million number I think.

Whatever, the Administration and it's *helpers* have to make light of it. Seems so strange that conservatives are now perceived as the new radicals. Never been radical-anything before. :~)
