So How Many People Were at the Inauguration Anyway?

Widely reported estimates in the mainstream media pegged the crowd at Gov. Rick Scott's inauguration ceremony at 3,000.

Observers polled by Sunshine State News peg the figure at closer to 5,000.

"There were people as far as the eye could see," said one attendee.

If the media low-balled the crowd estimate, it's hardly surprising. The establishmentarian press underestimated Scott from day one. And, as Alex Sink duly noted during the campaign, not one Florida newspaper endorsed him. They're not about to see straight now.
