I was at DC, and I pretty much agree with your
estimate, 250,000- 350,000. Of course, the media is
mostly using the police estimate of 30,000, which is
not only absurd, but blatantly self-contradictary from
their standpoint (the ariel shots they play on the
news show a sea of hundreds of thousands filling the
entire space between the Washington monument and the
the Capital building). Interestingly enough, Yahoo, in
the caption of one of its bird's-eye pictures of the
rally, says that it was attended by 500,000.

It was truely fantastic. I'm exhausted right now. I'll
try to write some thoughts after a good night's rest.
