I believe that that the public is still quite enthusiastic about ID, or at least "balancing" evolution with some form of creationism. However (this is only my impression), enthusiasm at the UD site itself seems to have fallen off with the fanfare of bringing Denyse O'Leary aboard the Mother Ship. And Sal doesn't seem to be helping (especially since he tends to take two helpings).

It seems to me that there is still plenty of "play" left in ID - in that there seems to be no shortage of dimwitted Republicans to support it vocally or even get it into their state party's platform.  After Dover, though, it's mostly just empty rhetoric, to fluff the flagging base.

Quite separate from that is UD, which, as you say, is busy committing prolonged (and unbearably fascinating) suicide.  I doubt whether even one of the Republican supporters of ID has ever looked at it.  Nor do I remember any mention of it even in the Dover decision.

It would be a good idea, I think, to compile a "greatest hits" of UD over the last year or so: all the idiocy and cluelessness, all the venom and, above all else, all the naked religiosity.  Before it gets disappeared.  A pamphlet which presented the true face of ID would be a great weapon against "let's just teach the controversy," "There is nothing religious about ID; it is a scientific theory, supported by the scientific arguments of, er, scientists doing science" crap.
