The small group of marchers who have trekked the length of California's Central Valley will be joined at a rally Wednesday by thousands of union workers, students and religious leaders. I would love to see a picture of the actual crowd that shows up for the rally.

365 miles?
48 days??
That is an average of 7.61 miles a day.
Typical Democrat slackers. I can walk that far -7.61 miles in just over 2 hours.

C’mon give ‘em a break. They were probably required to pause for mandatory 3-hour speeches at every bump on the road. Think of the pain.
