Well, if turnout doesn't exceed 100,000; they won't be able to blame the weather...sunny, low 50's. This isn't going to accomplish anything...IF this gets any coverage at all; they are going to highlight all the freaks in the crowd, and suburbia will just sit at home and shake their heads. Happens EVERY time...

No one is going to give a damn UNTIL the day you see Joe and Sally Suburbia marching in their streets, with children in tow. Tomorrow is just going to be the usual collection of hippies and disenfranchised college kids. Another wasted opportunity...

The photos of the last one showed many middle-class, ordinary looking Americans. Not that middle-class is all that ordinary in America anymore.
