Nobody should do a march the weekend before the election. The marching people should be doing then is in their neighborhoods (or their nearest swing district) knocking on doors turning out Democratic voters.

This directly takes away from them.

(I"m still bitter about the Colbert/Stewart rally on GOTV weekend in 2010 taking a busload of college kids away from doors for me).

PS-- I mailed my ballot in yesterday.
