1. Good for the Reid supporters.

There sure aren't "thousands of conservative tea parter activists" descending on anybody yet, according to that picture. What would you estimate...maybe eighty, tops?

2. Photo uploaded to AP about 9AM ET this morning. Palin due to speak at rally about 3PM ET.

Surely not very many showed up this morning from the looks of this photo. CNN is there covering the rally. And, Fox, of course is touting it as a big event.

Have added another photo of Reid supporters to the OP.

3. Looks like maybe a few hundred.

4. Any idea of the ratio of teabaggers to Reid supporters?

5. Palin now speaking--live on CNN and Fox. God, her voice is shrill-like nails on a chalkboard!

"Our vote is our arms." Huh?

6. They had to skip a day at Laughlin, huh?

And it was $35/night for the weekend! With free buffet for the before-4:30 crowd! THAT'S commitment!

9. Good for the Reid supporters!!

Someone should have a sign that reads, "Democrats win on brains and ideas, not hate and violence."
