The Barisan Rakyat blogging team got into Taiping yesterday around 3pm, complete with our new look.

8pm last night, headed out to the Markas PAS at Air Kuning, for a briefing, together with the Perak bloggers.

Caught up with the Pakatan candidate at the Markas. Nizar addressed the bloggers shortly after
This morning, we were up and out of the hotel by 7.15am.
The plan was first to have a quick breakfast and then head out to the nomination centre.
No such luck.
The Pakatan crowd of supporters was already starting to make its presence felt, streaming towards the nomination centre, and the team was caught up in the mood of the morning.
Duke getting into the thick of the action
I estimated that about 30,000 were out there with Nizar this morning.
On another street parallel to that where the Pakatan supporters were slowly making their way to the nomination centre, the BN supporters were assembling to start their march to the nomination centre. I nipped over to take the following shots.
As I noted earlier, I made the number of Pakatan supporters at and around the nomination centre that spilt over on to a hillside and the road leading up to the centre at about 30,000. Some of the others in the team thought my figure was too modest.
The number of BN supporters?
I put it at about 3,000 - 5,000. Many in the team thought I had overstated their numbers.
I’ll leave you with the photos below and photos and two video clips posted by delCapo and let you try to make your own estimate.
