3. Bernie Sanders was elected to the U.S. Senate a year ago.
And Feingold is too deferential to presidential power regarding appointments, Brown has only been their a year.

In any case, much as I'd like to see a change in leadership in both Houses, it's impossible to directly influence such an internal matter. O

5. Change is imperative now in the democratic party
and the leadership is a good place to start. I plan to post what I see now as an imperative soon along with what we are truely fighting and why it is so important to try and force change on the party and quickly. The clock is ticking on us.

6. Could these more liberal candidates pass muster
with DLC/Blue Dogs. DLC/Blue Dogs hold power. It really does
not matter who the Leader is. The Leader has to get a consensus
of Liberals and DLC/Blue Dogs.

8. When one realizes the blue dogs are the radicals in the party
it becomes more easy. This revolution that the US has undergone has in its power, the projection of thinking that what before it was radical or foreign in order for the new ideology to take hold. People who fail to make the connections are prone to see a new rightwing agenda as what preceded the change while it itself was the change.
