Lets just settle this topic now: Phili Rally

[AfricanDonkey]

There were over 600 and most likely over 3,500. Now we need to make sure each and every one of those people is doing something pro-active to help push Dean over the top.

[AfricanDonkey]

2. The 4 threads talking about the size of the philly rally

3. Right wing media says 600, other media 3500, a Dean person 4000

I do not see the need to play Park Ranger -

A lot of folks showed up.

4. You're absolutely correct.

No matter what the exact count, we can look at this picture and be really really proud. Especially since a lot of those people are probably new to politics.

Flyering a neighborhood, wearing a button, carrying literature with you.. the little things count.

Somebody cut and pasted the rest with Photoshop.

8. hmmm, maybe

only the first ten people in the front row are real,
standing in front of a blue screen.

--maybe it's a Rovian trap!

11. Actually, I Was Making A Reference To A Memory Hole

Account of such "cut and pasting" to bolster Iraqi "jubilation" on the front page of the London Evening Standard.

Totally fascinating evidence of the cut-up job. Check it out!

9. Get Mayor Street re-elected first

Katz (R) in the mayor's office helps Bush in PA in 2004.

12. I'm sure there were well over 100,000 there

The 4000 number is just a lowball figure.
