13. I must have missed them....
I was down there on Saturday, and if there were thousands of Bush supporters, I must have become blind.

When we first arrived @ about 1:30, I noticed that there were more cars parked on the side of the road near the Peace House, and along the main streets of Crawford.

But I didn't notice 3-4,000 people over at Fort Qualls (there isn't even room for 300 hundred on their side of the street).

At the first campsite, the pro-bush supporters looked to be about 50-75. There were a few more people (maybe 30) down the street where the Bikers for Bush had originally set up their camp.

Of course, watching our local DFW coverage last night, the only Sheehan mention was that Al Sharpton has come down (didn't even mention Martin Sheen), yet no one said anything about thousands of Bush supporters showing up to "even up the odds" over the weekend.

And given their bias, I'd figured they would jump on the chance to announce this influx of ignorance.
