I watched the last two hours of the Rally for Sanity/Fear. (Apparently, I didn't miss much the first hour...) I didn't mean to; I was just going to watch five or ten minutes, but it was moderately amusing so I kept watching. More or less an extended Daily Show or Colbert Report, with guest stars, and awkward live bits.
The crowd seemed mild and yuppie-ish.
Also looked really large to me, but I haven't heard any estimates. Fox estimated 7 people, and Stewart, like ten million.
I kept expecting Bruce Springsteen. And for them to say the word, "Vote."
Funny thing is, the rally is almost critique proof; especially by the media. Indeed, most of the criticisms I've read seem kind of churlish.
Really, it was so mild and bland. Eh.
