Seriously, why does anyone think this makes sense? I read a lot of polls, and they suggest that the center of public opinion on the issues is, if anything, left of the center of the Democratic Party. This seems to be a solution in search of a problem.

What seems to us a solution will appear simultaneously to the AWWMNUUBM as a problem.
