    Since when is enabling a radical administration moderate?

    Isn't resistance to extremism moderate? What's next, "Lieberman the Wise"? Please. Hillary is ambition.

    The Fact is that the Dems blew it after 2000, specifically post 9-11, when they could have been an opposition party against an incompetent and radical administration. Triangulating a la Bill Clinton in the face of a nut like Cheney and a bonehead like Bush (if not the downright evil of Rove) was the perfect strategy for political wilderness.

    This is prudent? Oscar Meyer. Prudent is Howard Dean, and Obama, and Russ Feingold, who have had the guts and the clarity to change the debate and begin taking back this country.
