Size Matters.

There has been a lot of speculation and argument about the size of the 9/12 March on Washington, and the "real" number. I know we here at RSR reported on some of the initial estimates of a million plus, and poo-poo'd The Left/Mainstream Media's attempts to downplay the event with descriptions of "scores" and "thousands".

Well it turns out it was a helluva lot more than The Left/Mainstream Media want to admit (best they would admit is 60,000), but not quite the million plus we thought. According to this PJM article, the more correct number is between 500,000 to 600,000, which this panoramic image seems to corroborate

I still think it's more than the 600,000 number, but that's just me. Even so, 600,000 folks is a bunch. More than most Lefty demonstrations, and they get a lot more press than this one did. But hey, if we use The Left/Mainstream Media/Rosie O'Donnell definition of a "million", there were 20-30 million there in DC on 9/12! Just saying.
