Reply #34: But I'd rather have someone that runs TO you rather than stay their distance...

If HRC or Obama don't have a good record, NOR do they try to acknowledge that it was wrong and that they want to change in the direction you'd like to go, how is that better than someone who's acknowledged that their record is bad and is now speaking about doing things you want seeing done?

The worst that can happen is that he backs off from this agenda, but as my other post said, if he does that, and he's already been elected ON a progressive agenda, the mandate of what the people will have voted for will still remain and still be seen to be a strong message as to what this country wants, whether or not he backs off from it or not.

If he DOES follow through on his newer stances, etc., then I think we have the perfect candidate and perhaps as good a president as we could have hoped for.
