What it comes down to is not the number of marchers, but the number who WILL vote. Not only this year, but in the future. I saw it in the Sixties: lots of noise but little voting. Then the ONG shot down students at KSU (no, I shan't discuss THAT fiasco!) and suddenly it wasn't fun anymore because "they" were using real bullets! (Granted, the folks at Jackson State knew it but it was unreal to nearly all others.)
