The movement appears to have an even bigger problem. Clinton defined it weeks ago on a talk show. The movement needs a message. It has not defined a specific problem or enemy. A general dislike of something vague called Wall Street, although pointed in a right direction, does not define an actual problem(s) or enemy.

As happened so often even during Martin Luther King's marches, anarchist may try to subvert or confiscate a movement. This movement has also had those same people. Anarchy (ie the G-8 in Seattle) harms the message and public image. Surprisingly, without a specific message and even with some anarchy, this movement still survives.

Pollsters are also detecting the foundation of another movement. Unusual extreme hate has been detected in another group. Some oldest voters who are typically Republicans are expressing more than just opinions on what has happened to the nation. Nothing from this group has yet jelled into an actual movement or demonstrations. But the emotions exist to make it possible.
