"It is doubtful that it will be much larger than the Million Worker March." -- Yoshie

Amazing. Yesterday, this was the defining mark of hope and revolution. Today, it's a yardstick of failure.

Have you ever admitted you were wrong about anything?

And Doug's point, meanwhile, isn't that the DP won't remain a turd. It will. But how do you know which course of events will unfold? Are you 100 percent sure Kerry will continue the occupation? What if he's lying to get elected? What if he does appoint Biden to be a special ME envoy and Biden forces some sanity on Israel? Not likely, of course, but not impossible. And what's wrong with giving Kerry the LBJ treatment in 2008, if things aren't better?
