It's about a 4 hour drive from New York City, so it's unlikely to get big crowds to begin with. But really, I used to see bigger crowds than this at my local commuter train station.

It's a 2 1/2 drive on the New York State thruway to Albany - about 160 miles.

Judging by the massive numbers, I rate this at least a 12-portapotty protest.

So where are the portapotties? This violates our *murphmumble* amendment rights!

(Seriously, I think I even see a Gadsden flag in the back. Don't these people know they're missing SpongeBob SquarePants?)

with a famous Democratic machine rivaling that of Chicago.

The Capital Region as a whole, on the other hand, hoo-weee. Once you get out to Duanesberg, Schoharie and the like, it's virtually mandatory red hat country.
