NOM Day 2: Loads of national press can't buy a crowd
Day 2 of the NOM marriage tour, this time with a stop-off in Manchester, NH.

Now, to be fair: it is a weekday. At noon. The crowds will surely be bigger this weekend.
But still: This tour has gotten a lot of advance press and promotion. 50-100 people is very paltry!

But nowhere near the 150 for his side that Marinelli is claiming on his blog. I count 65 or so.
