Protests Offer Help, and Risk, for Democrats

Summary: Both the Democratic and Republican Parties are debating how to use the "Occupy Wall Street Protests" for the benefit of their party. A good majority of Democrats are agreeing with the protestors who are saying that the current political system favors the wealthy over the working class. The Republicans are saying that the protests help prove a point that the leadership in Washington is failing. Other Democrats agree with the Republicans and would rather not be associated with the protestors.
