Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert Schedule Competing Rallies

The Daily Show host Jon Stewart announced plans for a "Return to Sanity" march October 30 in Washington D.C. which will attempt to tone down the political fervor we're used to from politicians and pundits. "Think of our event as Woodstock, but with the nudity and drugs replaced by respectful disagreement," Stewart said. On the same day, Stephen Colbert will hold a competing "March to Keep Fear Alive" which will advance the same message except, you know, through satire. Sounds like fun, but are competing rallies possible when both shows have the same fan base? [Rally to Restore Sanity, Keep Fear Alive]
