54. That was posted in 2008. Too late to comment, I'm afraid. ;-)
I have to disagree with Matt Ygelsias on this one. Liberal means technocratic pragmatists of the John Dewey type, Cold War liberals like Hubert Humphrey and bland party apparachiks, such as Walter Mondale to me. I'll take the crusading Left Progressives and Anti-Imperialists, activists and fighters such as General Carl Schurz, Governor LaFollette and Henry Wallace.
