A better question would be whether the Democrats WANT to translate the movement into politics. The G.O.P. was able to hijack the Tea Party because it was comprised mostly of dumb G.O.P. loyalists who were just mad that a Democrat was back in office. The opinion on the left has been that they don't NEED to organize OWS into the Democratic Party -- that they are more interested in letting their opinions be heard than dictating what their opinions should be to them.
