Soccer trumps Senate

Our own Sue Doyle, out at the immgration-rights rally in Hollywood today, reports that only about 1,000 demonstrators showed up though organizers had predicted/expected 15,000:

"Turnout at an immigrant rights' rally was far lower than expected today, with many speculating potential marchers chose to stay home to watch the game between the Mexican and U.S. national soccer teams.

The CONCACAF Gold Cup rivalry between Mexico and the U.S. kicked off in Chicago at noon Pacific time, just as the rally began in front of the Kodak Theater."

The U.S. came from behind to beat Mexico, 2-1.

This as Bush hopes to finally score a "GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!" on immigration reform this week in the Senate...

(By the way, the photo's from the soccer game, not the immigrant-rights rally. You may have figured that out.)
