Me too.

For both of us.

I'm really rusty on my Philadelphia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia) history but I can sort of feel ghost from the past rising in me when I see the pictures posted in relation to the Philadelphia Phreedom Rally 2012! (http://phreedom2012.com/)

Here is to hoping the sun breaks through enough and everyone's hearts are warmed by the event.

Just got back. My guess for attendence is between 500-1,000. Maybe 1500 at most. The weather was MISERABLE. Cold and constant rain. We left toward the end because we couldn't see Ron Paul for all the umbrellas and couldn't hear him at all. The sound was terrible. We didn't even know what we were chearing for most of the time. I would have stayed longer but my poor wife was shivering. She's from South Carolina and just can't take the cold let alone cold and wet.

When we got there we somehow wound up right behind the parade which was marching and chanting "president Paul" and "End the Fed". We were right behind that big army truck. I was holding my Ron Paul 2012 sign out my window and the guys in the truck were laughing and waving at us. Lots of thumbs up as we drove past people who were walking.
There were patriots of all ages, sizes, colors and stages in life there. Very heartening to see all those people braving the cold and rain.

Pics to come. Some with me and Adam Kokesh

WHoops. SO the 4,300 figure was a little "inflated"?

not by much the crowd goes all the way back. Check out some of the pictures in other threads. They may have come closer to when Ron was there, though.

It should also be mentioned that there was a big Flyers-Penguins game today at the same time. Even people who don't like hockey are on the wagon for this series, because it's good rivalry. So I'm sure that lowered turnout too. Yes, the weather did suck and I was pretty much soaked by the end of it. Hoping to have more pics uploaded soon...

4,300 is about right. Because we counted off a section of 100 people, then took that section of 100 people an took ten chunks of 100 people sections - making 1,000. Looking at the 1,000 people section it made up 25% of the crowd being modest in counting. Could have been more, but no less. This is a calculation saw mill workers use to total standing timber.

In addition to that... someone completely seperate from our group - we over heard them say.. this crowd looks to be a 4,000+ people crowd ... backing-up the Weaber Inc. Lumber standing timber theory. LOL

I had a great time !! I always did like the rain. :D

I will say don't really bank on my estimation of crowd size. I didn't use any scientific methodology nor to I have any expertise on the matter. It didn't look that large a crowd to me but I was still happy at a good turn out considering the weather and other factors.

Either way Ron Paul drew more people in a rain storm than Mitt Romney does on a sunny day which is what one would expect from media choices

I think the campaign's estimation was a bit inflated. Although I don't know how many people watched from inside the visitors center. A lot more people than I expected showed up - considering the weather.

It was difficult to hear Dr. Paul at times because the rain was so loud on the umbrellas and parkas. I got SOAKED, but it was oh so worth it.

Some from the Pre-rally outside the Federal Reserve Bank of Philly. This was two hours before the actual rally, in the rain, and attending meant you couldn't save yourself a good spot at the actual rally to see Paul. Still, probably a few hundred were there if I had to guess.

Here are some pictures I Tweeted during the Rally's. Unfortunately, my cell phone took a beatin' in the rain - is taken apart and smothered in rice right now .. should be good as new in 24 hours. LOL (2 of the pix are from inside the visitors center when RP was speaking, the rest are of the END the FED Rally.) I have a few videos of the FED March here.
