AP Halves Police Estimate Of Palin Crowd

Glenn and Gateway Pundit have the 10k number as well.

Here are the PD figures and here is the AP's latest:

An estimated 10,000 people were waiting at the Pony Express Pavilion in Carson City to see Palin at 6 p.m., according to Carson City Sheriff's Office estimates.

However, only 3,500 will be let in to see Palin speak in her first Nevada campaign stop. Everyone else will have to be content with watching outside the pavilion on big screens with amplified speakers.

About 50 to 75 protesters have shown up with signs saying such things as "There is no higher god than truth" and "McCain-Palin no way."

The AP from link above:

A group of roughly 5,000 broke into chants of "Drill, baby, drill!" and "Sarah! Sarah!"

I say the odds of seeing media accuracy in reporting the "Palindrome Effect" is the same as ever seeing a positive story on the war in Iraq!

You know the "Bush Doctrine" of fostering democratic governments in an effort to win the "war on terror".

Heck even Charlie knew that version of the "Bush Doctrine" right?

Can you imagine how enraged the media/left wingers are going to be when Obama loses? It will be delicious.

No drilling, no peace.

And I see she eliminated the reference to nuclear energy in her stump speech JUST for this Nevada crowd, which is sensitive to efforts to store nuclear waste in their backyard. The Little Hypocrite Who Can't just recently tried to claim that Obama did that very thing -- something about "not saying something different in one place versus another" (to paraphrase). She sure is special. And by "special" I mean a very manipulative liar.

Ah, NIMBYism. Gotta love it.
