    Sorry – I should have used a different term than “neocon” in my post – I was only referring to the current crop who got us into our current mess – perhaps “facilitated the Republican revolution” would have been a better way of making my point. The fact remains that Clinton and the DLC moved the party away from not just the center, but to the right – a strategy that ultimately failed.

    Regarding your question – “How do you expect to win enough power to implement the revolution without our votes? – it seems clear to me that many Hillary supporters simply have no intention of supporting Obama or the new direction of the Democratic Party no matter what, so I guess (sadly) we’re going to have to do without your votes and hope for the best. Maybe I’m wrong. I hope so – it seems like we have an opportunity to do something great for this country, but I guess that can’t ultimately happen until we put all the bitterness aside and start working together.
