That's what I'm reporting: this vet/Palin/Cruz memorial protest story is going viral quickly on right, will shape House GOP scene on M & T

This is a big story; House conservatives tell me it's a "game-changer," gives Right new momentum ahead of this weekhttp://t.co/...

So despite the collapse of the GOP's polling numbers and outright civil war, congressional Republicans decided that their "million vets march" is a "game changer" that gives them "momentum" headed into this week. Wow.
Set aside the fact that the several hundred confederate flag waving and impeachment-sign carrying nuts didn't rate in traditional media newscasts because, really, who cares about a bunch of Tea Party cranks? The Tea Party's approval ratings are in the toilet. No one outside the fringe likes them anymore.
Instead, let's take a look at some photos of these million vets that changed the game from Michelle Malkin's website, with 14 references to "million vets march."

There are more Republicans in Congress than attended this protest. If they had attended this protest, their numbers would've swelled to 433 which, while not quite a million, would at least have gotten them closer.
