Reply #90: fair point to raise

[salin]

though I would see him as safer and safer to say these things when the election is closer. If you want to look at someone wasting a bully pulpit - look to my Senator... Evan Bayh. Doesn't have a real opponent... oh - but he was still defending the WMDs lie a month or two ago... *sigh* From that point - I also see your point. We never had reason to think that Bayh WOULD use his possible bully pulpit... but with a more clear liberal candidate - there is more hope. I better understand your frustration and the source of the hyperbolic comparison to Zell.
