61. I would like the OP to tell us all just what will be "different" this time...
Edited on Mon Apr-02-07 07:54 PM by NastyDiaper
I didn't OP but I'll offer the best words i've read on the matter:


http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/5/16/213442/901 - While many argue that Al Gore let us down in his 2000 campaign, by our not challenging the green-scam groups in the lead-up to the election, it was in fact Progressives who let him down. Let's not do it again.
(May 16 2006, just as the Exxon sponsored smear groups start their swift-boat campaign in front of Inconvenient Truth)
We sunk that campaign and Exxposed the likes of CEI.


Gore's own words set up another thing that has changed.
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8D2IU703&show_...
"And it really matters because the subjugation of news by entertainment seriously harms our democracy: it leads to dysfunctional journalism that fails to inform the people. And when the people are not informed, they cannot hold government accountable when it is incompetent, corrupt, or both."
FoxNew is on the decline, and drooling electorate they left behind can't even get their talking points straight anymore. The New Media rules now, and we are in the drivers seat.


We softened things up in the Senate by replacing Inhuff with Boxer (I can't get enough of this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWpkBcWsAME&mode=related... ). That's gotta make things a little more pleasant for President Gore.



What's different in 2008 is us, the progressive left.
