From a Tea Party Express press release:
Crowd estimates from 9,000 - 30,000+ people for today's Tea Party Express "Showdown in Searchlight" event featuring Governor Palin.
Members of the press corps estimated the crowd size between 9,000 - 14,000 but the security and crowd control firm working the event estimated 30,000+.
Representatives from the security firm indicated they would be happy to confirm their estimates with interested members of the press, and based their estimates on their history of crowd control for other such public events.
Palin channeled the sentiments of the crowd well: "Don't ever let anybody tell you to sit down and shut up, Americans. You stand up and you stand tall."
I'm looking forward to meeting up with the caravan on April 6 in Rockford.
