No more defeatism, no more political self-loathing:Democrats MUST be fighting progressives!

[Ken Burch]

Our ideas are popular and gaining strength.
Activists are mobilized around the country working for those ideas. They want to have an exciting ticket and a compelling platform to campaign for.

We need to go there.

We need to dare to believe in our own values and the effectiveness of our proposals.

We can win the "moderate centrists" by looking positive and hopeful, and by nominating candidates who actually look like leaders. Candidates who are not calculating, poll-driven and triangulated on everything including their choice of breakfast food.

No more self-loathing.

No more path of least resistance.

We are America. We are the future. We CAN win without repenting and apologizing!

Victory in 2008!
