What are some good ideas for positive ways to use Flashmobs this year coming into elections?

I'm hoping to get some creative thoughts from other DUers about ways that Flashmobs might be used in new ways with POSITIVE energy that might be able to result in press coverage or quick high energy mobilization to support Obama and progressives this election season.

Ideas? Links to ideas? Links to....anything?

and have them recite the preamble of the Constitution, then immediately disperse to do it again at yet another well-known place. Rinse, and repeat as desired.

Flashmobs in favor of *any* political candidate make me say *ugh*. May as well let McDonald's co-op the concept.

Although I'm not entirely sure how that would play for Obama, what with the indefinite detentions and all.
