#1 Jackson Hole, Wyo.-As many as 250 people gathered Saturday afternoon at the corner of Hwy. 22 and the Village Road

I don't think 250 (probably an upper end guessestimate) can be reasonably considered a large turnout.

#2 Jackson Hole isn't a very big town, but it is a wonderful ski resort... at the back end of nowhere. Quite possibly those 250 or fewer were a significant portion of the current occupants. Not that it makes it any less pathetic.

#3 Protesting at a ski resort in August. Not exactly the optimum strategy for attracting attention.

#4 If Jackson Hole is like Sun Valley, Idaho then it is full of rich liberals. I know it's full of rich folks, I suspect the liberals are there too. Jackson Hole is nice country but the town is nothing but a "rich folks" tourist trap.

Many of the ordinary folks commute 40 miles each way because the land values are too high for any except millionaires (Both Sun Valley and Jackson Hole).
