Actually this generalization has exceptions. A local demo organized by (among others) Yoshie and me in Columbus in 1998 againsy Albright apparently derailed Climnton's plans for a strike against Iraq. There had been no big national demos at the time. It was the shock of a big protest at Ohio State (a traditionally conservative venue) that did it. Demos in Ann Arbor or Madison or Berkeley are not as effective. jks
