Games With Numbers

Neil Cavuto was apparently playing games with the Sacramento's rally's attendance numbers, starting at 5,000, and trying to double and triple those numbers.

Today's Teabagger rally, and the 11/23/08 Gay Rights rally, were of comparable sizes. I initially guessed 4,000 for the Gay Rights rally: the Sacramento Bee guessed 1,500 to 1,800. The Teabagger rally may have been slightly bigger - say 2,000 people. Of course, the Teabaggers were older and mostly overweight and so maybe they had more pounds per acre than the gays could muster. But hardly any more people.
