One more post on this subject, then I'm moving on to the next outrage. Brandt Williams of MPR sent me the following post and gave me permission to share it with the list:
Linda Mann Kingfield Linda - I covered the 'support our troops' rally on Saturday and was told that the Capitol plant manager estimated the crowd at between 5 and 10k. A state trooper I talked to up at the top of the stairs told me 6 to 7 thousand, but added that the State patrol was not going to offer official estimates because they were 'tired of being wrong.' I was also at the Oct. 26 anti-war rally and can safely say that Saturday's rally numbers did not greatly exceed the Oct. 26 rally. There may have been a few more than the Oct. 26 rally (the weather was also a lot nicer than last fall), but I can't image there was nearly double the number. _________________________________________ O TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
