Unofficial "Tea Party" Attendence Nationwide: Over 260,000

But, based on news accounts of 306 "Tea Party" protests in different cities across the country yesterday, I get a cumulative attendance of 262,025, with a fair number of (probably mostly smaller) events still unaccounted for.

That's a very strong showing and one that Obama shouldn't be "unaware" of it existence. The left made fun of those in attendence and the lack in numbers in the Northeast where it was raining, but most of the parties had a significant showing in the thousands.

They can downplay and mock all they want for now, but if we stay on course, we will make a difference.
