a conundrum...
NPR told me this week that the Obama campaign likely wants the left mad at it because mad leftists make the candidate look good with the center. Should I complain if the campaign does something like bring Bayh on board or include vouchers in its education plan, thereby helping the campaign while my point of view is further marginalized, or should I remain silent, thereby having no effect on the campaign while my point of view is further marginalized?

;-)

1. He'd just better remember he needs passionate warriors out here to get elected
That's been his strength so far.

To answer your question, just remember that, with Obama as president, at least there's the chance he'll listen to our point of view. With ANY Repug, we have a snowball's chance in hell of being heard.

2. yeah, I know.
Either way, I couldn't evidently be of any harm to the campaign even if I wanted to, which I don't. Maybe I'll go pull a few more weeds in the garden.
