Day 1 myself, I think the causal link the author makes between Occupy and the current rhetoric is a bit tenuous. I think Occuly did a lot to bring the conversation to this direction, but abject performances at the polls probably has more to do with it. Interesting thing though, Bernie is asking for an Occupy movement in DC - i.e., a million people in Washington.
