You tell me – how many people were at the event?
Estimates from emcee Brian T. Campbell are in the 7000 range.
UPDATE: here’s a video from the Capitol balcony showing the crowd.

Do you think Dan Maes should step aside as the Republican nominee for governor? Why or why not? If he did step aside, who do you think the vacancy committee should consider in his stead and why?

‘Pelosi: Tax Protest Is AstroTurf, Not Grass Roots’
(Roll Call) — Roll Call newspaper reports that House Democratic leaders on Wednesday “shrugged off” efforts to turn April 15 into a day of “nationwide ‘tea parties’ aimed at protesting tax hikes and wasteful spending.”
In an interview on FOX TV in San Francisco, “Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) chalked up the GOP grass-roots effort as ‘AstroTurf.’ … ‘This initiative is funded by the high end; we call it AstroTurf, it’s not really a grass-roots movement.”
The story goes on to report that one senior Democratic aide “has been circulating a document to the media that debunks the effort as one driven by corporate lobbyists and attended by neo-Nazis.”
The tea parties are “‘not really all about average citizens,’ the document continues, saying neo-Nazis, militias, secessionists and racists are attending them.”
Funny – I was at the Tax Day Tea Party in Denver, and didn’t observe a single Neo-Nazi, militia member, secessionist or racist. Maybe they were stealthily infiltrating the crowd while disguising their true identity and affiliation?
Oh, wait – that was the Leftists! My bad…
