Clark, if he has decided to retain PIOLI, has only one weapon against SOC. Only one, but it's powerful. Only one, but it's been used to slay movements like ours since the dawn of time.
His only option for success is to wait us out. It's to bet that we won't last, that we'll splinter and implode.
All it takes is one major foul up that makes us vulnerable, or more likely we become less attractive to the media outlets. Once we become ridiculable, even if the facts remain on our side, we're toast.
One of our strongest plays is to keep the ball rolling with as many hangers-on as possible. Yes, if they were totally sold out to SOC we could take a harsher stance, but we know that if the going gets only a little tough, like even the smallest amount, they'll bail.
We're in it for the long haul. We know that we'll see it through, but the smart choice is to keep it easy peasy to agree with us.
Can't win it with our (ahem) good looks.
