"Just say a prayer for a pleasant Fall afternoon, rather than rain or snow, in which case, we'll have a much harder time summing things up."

Umm. Given the original projections of a historic, precedent setting tens of thousands converging for a UFPJ Midwest regional action, the organizers here have raised the bar considerably in defining a breakthrough success for this demonstration -- whether they like it not. Any spin about the composition of the crowd (ie: new folks turning out) will be just that - spin, if the numbers don't actually exceed previous efforts - late October weather and all. And you can bet that the corporate press, if they show up, will take notice of that.
