Ran into this, looking for something else.

Most likely over estimated. :-)

7. From the live feeds, there are thousands. How many, don't know.
 But it's definitely more than 1000. Fox News is reporting "a few hundred".   
Which might be closer to the truth.
Neeext.

13. If Madison, WI could get 100,000 or more last winter, why can't NYC muster tens of thousands?
  I don't get it. 
What part of liberal BS, don't you understand?

I hope some more DUmmies show up.

I live in a town that sort of medium sized. Yesterday the people had a protest to protest about the occupy protestors. 315,782 people showed up. It would be 315,783 if along with the people you counted the dog wearing the "I despise stinking hippies" sweater.

By the way, all of the above is exactly as accurate as the info that is provided at DU.
