Visualizing Walker's budget, thanks to James Rowen's colorful description, as a 'steaming pantload'.
Supporters of Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair bill hold rally in Madison. (Appleton Post-Crescent, 3/6/2011)
Excerpt: About 700 people rallied Sunday in support of Republican Gov. Scott Walker and his anti-union plan to balance the state budget. (Compared to the tens of thousands who have rallied against Walker's budget repair bill and 2011-13 budget proposal during the past 3 weeks.)

Matt Seaholm, the state director of Americans for Prosperity, said the purpose of the bus tour and rallies was to show that Walker still has support among those who voted him into office in November. (Apparently, these folks are now hard to find.)
A friend who attended to observe and just show a human face to the opposition says 400 max. Someone else tagged the room capacity at 200 (http://www.alliantenergycenter.com/AboutUs/Facilities/ExhibitionHall/tabid/77/Default.aspx). Who knows, but the media should at least check the room capacity.
