Overwhelmingly white, designer-label dressed, and metrosexual. Asians far outnumbered African Americans, and Latinos and working class people were totally absent. Yale and Princeton sweatshirts outnumbered University of Maryland garb. Afterwards by 1:30 pm it was standing room only and long waiting lines in the expensive restaurants of Penn Quarter. Then Stewart's fans got back on Amtrak and the Chinatown bus (which was almost all white for the first time ever) to return to the West Village and Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights.
The liberal ralliers were admonished from the stage not to leave trash like the people at the One Nation rally and the Obama inaugural. I didn't stay to see how well they did with that but as you can see, they had no problem sitting on the art in the Sculpture Garden.
