...and their rally plans are now self-destructing. :o)

Is this because you say so, or do you have actual evidence?

It is part wishful thinking, part observation.

1 - As you will note further up the thread, one of the opposition posts reports that there will be no "union-printed" signs.

Perhaps no "union-printed" signs means that the union folks will NOT be there; at least not there IN FORCE.

2 - There are TWO (2) opposition rallies scheduled: one at 17th, and one at 20th.

Divided forces are generally not a good strategy, so this seems to imply a divided MESSAGE.

3 - Two of the opposition's primary goals have been to stop Arnold from speaking, and to prevent the Special Election this November.

He WILL be speaking at graduation, and the Special Election WILL take place -- so they just lost their two primary objectives for this event.

OUR primary objectives, on the other hand, are to help the SMC graduates celebrate a famous alumnus, and to help Arnold promote his newly announced Special Election.

Both of THOSE goals are still easily accomplished. :o)
