ID is here to stay. for sure. Probably undergo a name change though to something like Intelligent Evolution or Sudden Origin Theory The debate has just begun.

from the article:

A month later, the board mandated that starting in January 2005, ninth-grade biology teachers would be required to read to their students a four-paragraph statement encouraging students to look into alternatives to Darwin and suggesting Of Pandas and People (available in the school library) as a good place to start. Even though the new policy did not include active teaching of intelligent-design theory, Discovery Institute fellows issued a warning that the policy went too far and might, in fact, damage the cause rather than further it.

So, first they encourage "teach the controversy" but when the Dover board tries to do just that, DI gets nervous and wants them to chicken out.
Does DI want the controversy taught or was that just a clever but empty slogan designed to promote themselves instead of the so-called new theory?
Any meaningful debate is done. The Iders lost, got caught lying, and thanks to Behe and other experts ie- guys with books to sell, the notion that ID was a valid scientific theory ended up with egg on it's face.

ID was DI's goose that layed the golden egg. As long as there was a controversy DI could tout teaching, the money was rolling in. Now that ID has been exposed by its very proponents as a non-scientific fraud, the pipeline will dry up.

IOW, ID was a con game; its creators knew it, and its true believers will continue to refuse to accept this fact.
