[1] Every picture I've seen of the crowd yesterday (a good-sized crowd) from the Capitol Building through the first section of the Mall shows plenty of open spaces.
Really? DOes that include the pics I put up?

I see nothing at all wrong with using an official estimating tool to gauge an approximation of the crowd. You keep saying the crowd was loose - that is not so, based on the pics I posted and the videos taken of the event - after it started.

Include in those estimates the massive march from the WH to the capitol that took three hours to pass. The video is an excellent representation of that crowd and there is no doubt - 12 blocks full of people - would be hundreds of thousands.

Maybe this will help explain:

Woohoo looks like the president's approval rating is on a steady climb again!

Weak, very weak. That's just because that's where the picture was taken.
Right.

I guess the lefties were stung by the images of filth left over from the inauguration, they prowled around the event looking for "scandals".

I remember the days when Obama-Lovers were saying the Tea Parties would never take hold.

WOW that was yesterday morning.

And to think they are still growing.
