Large crowd at Minnesota "Kill the Bill" rally

Ed Morrissey reports:

I’d have put the crowd somewhere between three and four thousand. They were not just numerous — the largest rally I’ve personally attended at this venue — but also enthusiastic. Some got a little overly enthusiastic, such as the few who brought actual pitchforks. (They were asked to step to the back of the crowd.) Almost every sign carried to the rally was homemade, as you can see from the pictures. They all came out to the capital on a day where the temperature didn’t get above 40 degrees during the entire rally, and where a cold wind blew across the mall.

Pitchforks! I suppose, for safety's sake, they should have brought posters with pictures of pitchforks. But I applaud the sentiment wholeheartedly.

*Update: The American entrepreneur lives! Here's another one.

By contrast, the Coffee Party, darlings of the NYT and Washington Post, attracted crowds ranging from . . . wait for it . . . five to thirty people. Not five thousand, or five hundred, or fifty. Just five. As in one, two, three, four, five. Like the number of fingers on your hand. One of your hands.
