I spent most of the afternoon wandering around looking at people who came here for different reasons. There are a lot of strange people here, including a whole delegation of people carrying "9/11 was an inside job" banners demanding "the truth". There are merchandise dealers everywhere, including some who managed to quickly print enough Obama/Biden shirts ($15) to put the plain Obama ones on sale ($10). The anti-abortion activists are probably the most vocal, drawing slogans with chalk on sidewalks, holding banners on sidewalks, and driving around town in a van with a blown up image of a mutilated dead baby on it.
"Anything that doesn't say Biden costs $10"
