It is time we start discussing Salon's exit strategy for Farhad Manjoo.
His breathless flirtation of reaching for the right represents a neo-liberal strategy of failure that we are all too familiar with now, and I frankly don't need to read any more of these dismal efforts on the pages of Salon. Combined with an outright contemptuous dismissal of anything truly left -- such as stolen elections and voting reform -- I find his desperate pursuit as exactly that... desperate.
Color me idealistic, but I really think we need to focus on presidential candidates that speak to issues... Although this is much too early to discuss, my vote is on Russ Feingold.
I would like to see more attention focused on this possible candidate for 2008.
