I think Yglesias is focusing on minor elements of the protest and blowing them up. I was there, and I know it's tough from the vantage point of a lone protestor to list the factors of what influenced a protest of this size, but I only saw one Nader sign the whole time I marched. And the Spartacist chuckleheads are at every protest, big or small. I think I saw 10 of them at yeserdays march, which is a huge turnout compared to the usual 2 that will hand out "Workers Vanguard." While the protestors themselves had multiple issues, there was one underlying issue of this protest: We hate Bush.
Thanks for the link, BTW.
Looks like somebody's copied the Rhode Island Dictionary, which, BTW, is a wicked pissah of a book.

So how many of us predicted that we'd be in Iraq for years? And will the media ever give us the credit we deserve by saying we were right all along?
