Not yet, from what I'm seeing on street cams. Looks like 4 blocks of people in the streets. Go a block further, and cars are driving on Constitution and Independence.

Definitely not the number of people who go see the July 4th fireworks. I once went to a protest rally in DC when the Klan came to march, and there were about as many people. I've also attended various pro-choice rallies that had far more attendees.

We agree to disagree.

I have no idea what he's going to do since he will be in the studio not at the march. I'm assuming actual Fox reporters will be on the ground.

I wonder if it was Beck who decided to put Sunday's weather forecast (sunny, mid-80's) on the march website instead of today's (overcast, mid-70's, chance of rain 30%)...

Do you have a link to Media Matters or Kos telling us all about how Fox funded this whole movement? Trot them out so I can come up with some things about how localized the Tea Party Express has been and how much local work was put into 9/12. Surely your people have something like this.

Seems to be a fair number of folks out there, so I guess, good for them.

My question is, what exactly are they protesting? Is it anything specific or any one issue or just protesting the President?
