Protesters bewildered by lack of comrades.

Salt Lake Tribune "By the time the war protesters began their march Saturday morning in Salt Lake City, only about 50 people had gathered. Their numbers had swelled to about 200 by noon - and that was with a little high-tech help from a marcher who text-messaged friends to join him. ... One of the biggest protests was in San Francisco, for decades a hub of anti-war sentiment. Police there estimated the crowd gathered outside City Hall at about 6,000 people. Many chanted slogans opposing Bush, and most appeared to hail from a distinctly grayer demographic than that of other protest events.
''There are not enough young people here,'' said Paul Perchonock, 61, a physician. ''They don't see themselves as having a stake.''
...
In Washington, a relatively small crowd of about 300 gathered at the Naval Observatory, where Vice President Dick Cheney lives, and marched to Dupont Circle. Debbie Boch, 52, a restaurant manager from Denver, said she and two friends bought plane tickets to Washington two months ago, before the demonstration had been planned. It was the fifth protest march she had attended since the war began, she said,and among the smallest.
''It's very disappointing, especially in Washington, D.C.,'' she said. ''You think this is the place where people come to make things happen. I'm just not sure why there aren't more people h
ere today.'' "

Finally, a fair and balanced article from outside of Fox News.

There's no reason to be concerned about the elections this year. Not only do the liberals not have a plan, they are unreceptive to reality. And it's also the old people doing the protesting, who's defining years in life were protesting vietnam. For them, this is natural.

"I'm just not sure why there aren't more people here today."
Because it is only a very very small minority of the nation that agrees with you.
