The turnout was very respectable. The photos I've seen on the wires show a packed mass of people stretching for blocks. That's pretty good for a protest that didn't get lots of hype and is being overshadowed by the big protests coming up on Monday.
I didn't watch TV yesterday so I can't speak to TV coverage. News websites carried the protest as a headline, including Drudge Report. NPR featured the protest as its top news story on its hourly update yesterday.
Tomorrow's protests are going to be very hot.
