Occupy Wall Street growing rapidly

A loose coalition of labor and community groups said Thursday that they would join the protest next week. They are organizing a solidarity march scheduled for Wednesday that is expected to start at City Hall and finish a few blocks south at Zuccotti Park.[...[Some of the biggest players in organized labor are actively involved in planning for Wednesday's demonstration, either directly or through coalitions that they are a part of. The United Federation of Teachers, 32BJ SEIU, 1199 SEIU, Workers United and Transport Workers Union Local 100 are all expected to participate. The Working Families Party is helping to organize the protest and MoveOn.org is expected to mobilize its extensive online regional networks to drum up support for the effort.
?We're getting involved because the crisis was caused by the excesses of Wall Street and the consequences have fallen hardest on workers,? a spokesman for TWU Local 100 said.
Community groups like Make the Road New York, the Coalition for the Homeless, the Alliance for Quality Education and Community Voices Heard are also organizing for Wednesday's action, and the labor/community coalitions United New York and Strong Economy For All are pitching in as well.
It should also be mentioned that the Teamsters have been vocal in their support of Occupy Wall Street.
In addition to rapidly increasing support for the action in New York City, Occupy Wall Street confirmed over the phone that there will be at least 26 solidarity occupations in the U.S. by Oct. 6. Further, they said that up to 70 were possible by the end of October, and recommended visiting Occupy Together for more information.
Beyond institutional support, the use of pepper spray against demonstrators has significantly increased organic interest in Occupy Wall Street. TechPresident reports that there are now more online searches for Occupy Wall Street than for Speaker John Boehner:
After a pepper spray incident, Occupy Wall Street now gets a level of attention on Google somewhere between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner.
The occupiers in New York City say they are prepared to stay through the winter. Their numbers also appear to be growing, after suffering steady declines during the first week of the action. At this point, how long Occupy Wall Street lasts, and how big it gets, is anyone's guess.

FL-Pres: Romney tops Perry
Mitt Romney: 30
Rick Perry: 24
Newt Gingrich: 10
Ron Paul: 8
Herman Cain: 7
Michele Bachmann: 6
Jon Huntsman: 3
Rick Santorum: 2
Gary Johnson: 1
Those numbers are pretty much unambiguously good news for Mitt Romney, and they come on the same day that Quinnipiac released numbers showing Romney slightly ahead of Perry in both Ohio and Pennsylvania (although Perry actually led Romney in a hypothetical heads up contest in Ohio).
Unless something really strange happens with the primary calendar, Florida will be by far the largest of the early states in terms of delegates. Moreover, if Perry and Romney win South Carolina and New Hampshire respectively, it will probably be seen as a "tie-breaker," so it will have intangible value as as momentum is concerned.
Perry's numbers took a hit after the debate in PPP's survey, but in Florida, Romney's Social Security attacks appear to have done some damage.
Perry was down in Florida even before the debate though and one thing that may be hurting him is his comments on Social Security. 49% of voters disagree with his 'Ponzi Scheme' comments to only 37% who agree and with the folks who dissent from that statement his deficit against Romney goes all the way up to 19 points at 35-16. It's also noteworthy that seniors are the age group where Perry faces the biggest deficit to Romney at 34-26.
Whether this is unique to Florida remains to be seen. Although this poll is more relevant than national polling?there is no national primary and Florida's an early primary state?Perry led Romney in a CNN poll of Republicans nationwide taken during the same time period.
