What I really like about it is that Romney is a nitwit who just wants to win so he'll move to the center as much as possible, and for Obama to differentiate he'll move to the left even more! So it's going to be hilarious when Romney is talking about how he wants to regulate stuff and whatnot.

Here's the phrase I expect to be seen a lot in a few months.

"SCHOOL'S OUT!"

Occupy is going to get an awesome infusion of young people over the summer. It's going to be so cool.

Good OP, thank you. 'Moral Panic' a good way to describe what is going on, not to mention sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #6

The sad thing is that too Democrats fail to understand the importance of this movement. donheld Feb 2012 #21

As it grows over the spring and summer you can expect them to at least channel the rhetoric. joshcryer Feb 2012 #25

The Democrats are already trying to "channel the rhetoric". bvar22 Feb 2012 #30
