The information below can be found at the following web site http://papundits.wordpress.com/2009/09/12/912-tea-party-in-dc-headcount/. The information below is from vodkapundit. He did a back-of-envelope based on the photos and reports. A pretty dense crowd is about 1.8 people per square meter, and the National Mall alone is about 125 hectares, 1.25 million square meters. So that would be 2.3 million people.

Given the report from Steve of an actual literal count of 450K early on, I think the 2 million number is *very* plausible.”

The math appears right to me so that would seem to be well in excess of 2 million people, especially counting the “spill out” from the mall.

Another interesting tidbit – Some are saying that Obama’s multi-million dollar party celebrating his installment as Usurper-in-Chief had 2 million assembled. Well, I found a photo. Let’s compare, shall we? <grin>

The only half-decent aerial photo I could find on a Google search shows large gaps between people. A the DC Tea Party, this same area was completely covered by patriots, no gaps, packed in like sardines, and spilling over into other areas. If this is 2 million, then the DC Tea Party had 3 million, easy.

AND NOW YOU KNOW THE REAL STORY
