The Sacbee has a reader poll about whether or not people will attend the Tour Prologe. No is winning 3-1. Go here to vote for yes:

Let's let these publications know that there is support for our sport (maybe they'll start to cover it more)

If 1/4 of the city of Sacramento watches the race, that will be a huge turnout.

25% of the metro area would be over half a million people lining a 2 mile route...

I hope 25% of the area DON'T show up, that would be insane!

Are you serious? There's a whole section devoted to the race. It's been there for a week or two now. There's so much hype about the race that a poll is meaningless. Aside from that, I've noticed a lot of readers that comment on the sacbee.com are generally mad-at-the-world types.

The poll isn't indicative of desire to watch. There are probably quite a few people who would go, but are voting no because of the weather prediction.

Younger versions of AM radio talk call-ins.

OT: When I was growing up in Detroit, my dad always listened to AM radio all day long (warehouse job and he was the only one in the warehouse). There was always a never ending line of crotchety old people calling in to complain about something or another.
