used to be hundreds of thousands of people at these things.... the one in DC last month had more reporters than attendees, despite high powered speakers. Now it's 100 to 250 people at a Tax Day rally? Is the ferver lessening?
Sharron Angle rallies Tea Party supporters, breaks into song

Sharron Angle channelled British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to motivate Tea Party supporters during a speech Friday to Las Vegas.
“Never, never, never, never give up,” Angle said, quoting Churchill. “It’s the beginning of a quest. We’re going to elect a different president, elect more conservatives to Congress and we’re going to send our message again and again and again.”
Angle, who is running for Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District seat, was the featured speaker at a tax day Tea Party rally outside the Grant Sawyer Federal Building. A similar rally was held in Carson City.
Supporters wore American flag T-shirts and waved anti-Obama and anti-tax signs, but they seemed more lethargic than during past tea party rallies. The crowd swelled to about 250 at the peak of the three-hour event but dropped to just more than 100 by the time Angle spoke.
