7,000 porta-potties, to be exact. As political gum-shoe Mark Halperin notes:

...said to be the most ever assembled in the U.S.

Calling all porta-potties! Come in, porta-potties! You are needed in DC, pronto. In fact, the record-breaking 7,000 may not be enough. MSNBC reports that the toilet-to-person ratio will stand at about 1:6,000. And once you're actually out on the Washington Mall, it's a long walk to the nearest Starbucks or McDonalds.

On the bright side, since the temperature is forecast to be in the low 30's for the big day, the movable toilets won't be stinking to high heaven. Still, bring your hand sanitizer.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
