34. Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I don't follow the OWS closely as I am not in the streets. That would be neat if they had a convention.

For this:
"As to a presidential nomination or endorsement, I see it going to a true dark horse, i.e., someone not beholden to Wall Street or either of the two current parties.

Fascinating times we live in, eh?"

I personally think the movement will just become a get out the vote effort for Dems if it is only going to back incumbents that voted for bailouts and tax cut extensions. Once those incumbents get back in office, it will be business as usual, and the OWS movement will be out of gas (IMO).

Fascinating times for sure. I have to say the OWS movement has taken on more steam than I ever thought it would, and I'm not being critical of it, rather just thinking about most movements.
