I'd say there were 15-20K at the end of the route for the mass rally in Ketalagan. Crowds for the DPP seemed the same. I think both parties inflate the numbers.

But the DPP's spirit was back in yesterday's rally. And you're right, it's a great foundation to build upon no matter what comes out next week in the election. good for you:) Ma’s crowd in Taipei was huge. the estimate is about 150,000 according to ChinaTimes.

I'll be interested to see the official crowd estimates. I briefly checked out both the DPP and KMT rallies, saw the crowds on the MRT who were arriving, and later saw both rallies as they crossed Fuxing N Rd. As far as I could see, the KMT rally had a lot more people - at least twice as many early on. Nice commentary. I’ll be interested to see the official crowd estimates.

They really captured the passion and energy of the crowd and the moment. I wish I was there to participate. My parents are there and it must have been very emotional for them. I hope Mr. Hsieh wins next week. Great photos David. They really captured the passion and energy of the crowd and the moment.
