You cannot produce any evidence to suggest that the numbers who

demonstrate(d)
represent anyone but themselves. You are attempting to extrapolate those
numbers into a much larger mass who, for one reason or another cannot, or
decided no to, demonstrate.

What I am suggesting is that, even if ten times the number did

demonstrate,
that would still be nowhere near a majority of the population.


I have pointed you towards numbers being quoted by several publications.
WHile I admit that without knowing the exact questions asked these aren't
100% authoritativ, they are all we have at present.

I'd be interested if you could supply polls that suggest that the majority
of the people in this country do want to see Bush visit. Until you do that,
I'm afraid I'm going to have to stick with the only numbers we have, not
your gut instincts.

Best wishes,
Jonn
