5. I don't know....

Ours was from 1 to 3, and it's 3:30 here now. I can't find a single mention of it on any of the local news sites. Leads me to believe that it may have been a lame turnout. The local "teabag" website had about 800 people registered, and I'd hazard to guess that half-ish of them would attend. If I had to bet on Baton Rouge's attendance, I'd guess maybe a 3 to 4 hundred.

Could be wrong, though- this is FREEPER country....

6. Probably about 50-60

7. Madison, WI - looked about 300 or more

Which considering this is the state capital and 2nd largest city in WI is pretty pathetic.

11. I was there, and that simply is not the case

Ive seen estimates from 1500-6000. I personally thought there was about 3,000 there.

But 300 is just not true.

[CLANG]

12. I was estimating from what I saw on TV

I guess they just showed a bit of it. Sorry!

On Edit: Technically I said 300 or more, which is still a true statement.

8. Atlanta here...

Starts in 45 minutes.

9. I saw a guy on the Metro wearing a "tea party" hat..

.. I wonder if he realizes that he was using public transportation..

13. Last week San Diego had about 400 or so at it's tea party.

However, since San Diego is a city of over a million people with about 3 million in the entire county area, which is 56% GOP as of the last 2008 CA registration numbers, that's not really that much.

14. I think there is supposed to be one in downtown Portland at 6pm PST

I hope they get counter protesters. I'm not going; I don't have the stomach to be around racist loonies. x(
