The Occupation Will Grow?

Ken Makovsky thinks so:

Regardless of the reasons, business and government are making a mistake not responding, just because of the growing size of the group and the media attention they are getting.   In the same way that people were individually affected by the military draft during the Vietnam War protests, today’s taxpayers have been individually affected by the bank bailouts and the mortgage crisis.  The Vietnam War protests grew exponentially, bringing significant social changes and, if nothing else, ended the draft and brought down a president.  The current protests will pick up speed the longer there is no response.

On the other hand, Dan Drezner reads an n+1 dispatch as evidence that the movement isn't likely to expand its base.
