So you divide that by 2 million physical attendees, all spending money in
Washington and traveling there..   Money generated in TV, Newspaper magazine
revenue.  Revenue generated from cellphone calls.

Geez, starting to look like an economic stimulus.   Kinda like Mardi Gras.
People criticize it, but it brings money in.  C'mon down, and spend yer bux,
even Cdn bux.  We need it, and you'll have a blast.
