>PRO-MARTHA RALLY A BIT UNDERDONE
>By GILL SMITH
>
>A rally for embattled domestic diva Martha Stewart was more of a
>bust than a boost yesterday - when only four people bothered to show
>up.
>
>Organizers expected more than 50 fans to gather outside the CBS
>studios on Fifth Avenue, where Stewart has been a no-show for a
>weekly slot on the "Early Show," offering cooking and decorating
>tips.
>
>Stewart hasn't been on the show since a disastrous interview on June
>25, when she ducked questions about her involvement in the ImClone
>scandal while chopping cabbage.
>
>The four loyal supporters, enlisted by the Web site SaveMartha.com,
>planned to gate-crash an outside broadcast in what they described as
>a "Martha-lution."
>
>The Web site has been selling gear emblazoned with the "Save Martha"
>logo, said editor John Small, 40. Most of the buyers are homemakers.
>
>When it became clear that no one else planned to show up for the
>rally, the foursome - decked out in "Save Martha" T-shirts, chef's
>hats and aprons - abandoned their protest and moved to the "Today"
>show at the NBC studios in Rockefeller Center.
>
>There, they tried to rally support, handing out T-shirts, hats and stickers.
>
>But their campaign was in vain - no one on the street seemed very
>concerned with saving Martha Stewart.
