At the same time, there are plenty who are not, and even those who are need to be challenged to do the kind of organizing and persuading of hearts and minds that garners them broad national political power and influence in their own right. They have no business trashing Dems and Obama for not being "progressive" enough when they can't win on their own. Nader is not President. Kucinich is not President. They ran. They lost.
