58. A group of angry DUers is not representative of the nation
Edited on Wed Aug-11-10 10:46 PM by CakeGrrl
There have been several polls posted that show he continues to have wide Democratic support nationwide.

There was an interesting post about how vilified FDR was by Democrats.

Just because a few hundred people on DU want him out on his ear doesn't mean the country feels the same way overall.

Will he run? Why not? And he should. He has no reason to step aside, not with the legislative record that he's built to date. To Gibbs' point, if people choose not to recognize ANY measure of progress, that's their problem.

If some passionately angry Progressives want him out, then let them organize and vote him out during the Primary.

If those who want a Primary challenger can muster THOSE numbers, they can also consider whether someone who could meet the stringent Progressive standards on DU could gain the mainstream appeal to win the GE. Because if they're aiming for the WH, they'd damn well better not miss.
