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.
