As for the rally with more people...I was there, at the rally to restore sanity. I'm glad you enjoyed the rally you went to though, and I enjoyed the one I went to.

Crowd was a mile long and wrapped around the corner. Along with two other hotel guests (we met at the station trying to figure out how else to get there) I got back on the shuttle and they took us to West Falls to try again. Of course that didn't work since it was a stop closer to the city and the trains were full from Vienna and Dunn Loring by the time they got to any closer station. Finally got a taxi with three groups of people who didn't know each other and got dropped off at the far end of the mall and walked literally to the other end. Took me 45 minutes or more to slowly work my way from the back of the crowd to where I could hear anything. Got to the back of the crowd at 1 PM, close enough to hear by about 1:30. People were on top of every port a pottie and in every tree (still wondering who's going to pick up the tab for all the potties with crushed roofs from people trying to see). Some people obviously understood the futility of trying to get close enough and contented themselves with sitting nearby and people watching. It was attended by literally every soul that could pack onto a train, with three times more left over standing in lines and on platforms. There was literally no room for anyone else to be there. Don't know what that translates to in terms of numbers, but it was total capacity of taxis, sidewalks, and public transportation. It was good to see the turnout, but because the crowds were so vast, I'm going to have to watch most of it later online. Took the hotel shuttle to Dunn Loring at 9:30 AM.
