Many of us have real worries that she is not and will not be "one of our own". We fear that she will not stop the Iraq war, will indeed possibly decide that politically or by listening to the wrong advisers or just to look tough (it ain't a woman thing-most of the Democrats have been doing this for years) continue on the path to another war with Iran.

Those are real fears. Nothing you or four thousand words from someone like Nance Greggs says dismisses them. They are real.

We are tired of the far right turn this country has taken. We don't want it to continue down the right turn by "one of our own." In fact that is worse! We don't need another eight years of triangulation. THAT is why Mark Penn is so worrisome. Forget Blackwater if you can. He's the one that brought us down this road-if we just act more like Republicans we can win! Yes, and we have SO much to show for that philosophy don't we. It has gotten us NOTHING.

And we continue to ask-win WHAT exactly? If we have more wars, more privatization, more jobs lost, what have we won? Oh it's a win because there's a Democrat behind that?
