    Central theme

    Since the Obama people seem to assume all of us who believe Hillary Clinton was by far the better candidate are so old, just be a bit patient, we'll die off soon. Then you can run as far to the left as you like and see if it works better for you than it did for McGovern, Dukakis and Kerry...oh, wait a minute, maybe you've never heard of McGovern or Dukakis?

    Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. That's why centrist Bill Clinton is the only two-term Democratic president we've had since FDR and most of the other people we've nominated can't get in the White House once
