WNU Editor: Earlier expectations and predictions from the media was that one million protesters were going to show up in Washington DC today. From what I have seen so far, that is not going to happen. I was surprised that only 3,000 showed up at the Lincoln memorial. Is there "protest fatigue". I do not know. But my earlier fears that we will be seeing violence on the streets of Washington have (to my relief) not materialized.
