Not sure, because it's the news networks whose counting he seems to be mocking. And using news networks information to counter the news networks numbers. Try to figure.

Is he saying there isn't a significant anti-war sentiment in the US? Is he saying that it's not very big? Not passionate? What is he saying?

(I can understand a concern with counting when there's a double-minority President, not only a minority of the votes but fewer than the other candidate. Ya gotta say how bad the other guy is at counting, as a way of laying off the hypocrisy of the entire thing, even though in these cases it's not even the other guy who's counting.)

My impression is that there is a passionate bunch of people who are opposed to declaring war against Iraq for the reasons stated so far. In my area it was the biggest anti-war demonstration since Vietnam. May not be everyones impression, though.
