Numbers Game

Browsing some of the blogs, I noticed that Instapundit and other American bloggers seem obsessed with the correct numbers of people who took part in anti-war demonstrations. If I were them, I wouldn't bother. In my humble opinion, number of people who take part in political demonstrations, rallies or manifestations was never good indicator of popular mood of the general population.

Croatian parties and personalities who drew conclusions on their own popularity based on the number of people who gather at their rallies usually experienced some nasty surprises during election nights.
