The bleachers near where I watched at 12th and Pennsylvania were pretty empty.
There are reports that only Republicans could get tickets to the bleachers. If so, they weren't there.
This may have been because the protestors were slowing-up the security by trying to take in things they weren't supposed to have.
Protestors may not have been in bleachers, but according to Becker, they were there.

Actually, Becker says they have bleachers.
People coming to our party said that the demonstrators were holding up security checks. PRobably that is why the bleachers were half-full.

Never before had the Park Service granted a protest group dedicated space for the inaugural parade, organizers said, and Mr. Becker's coalition filled it with thousands of people who were as close to Mr. Bush as those who came to cheer him. Oh, but I thought Bush was taking away peoples freedoms... hmmmm.....

Most of the other news reports said the ANSWER freaks only had 500 people there. Their speeches have been running almost nonstop on CSPAN-2 which I think is a good thing. There rantings are so off the wall, they need some coverage to expose who they are.
