Reply #7: Rally the Repubs, Alienate the Dem progressives.

No, I think it will be the wrong choice. We would have done better had we run further left from the get go this election. I think that she has really gone to far into a gray eminence role. New York needs a firebrand, not a bipartisan.

I think a Dean Edwards ticket would have faired better, or a Clark Kucinich ticket even better still. The DLC really needs to realize that they have nothing to give the corporatist that the Pugs won't have more of. And the need to realize that they are now fighting a far more desperate fight.

What's the quote? Give a voter a choice between a Republican and a republican and they will vote Republican.

We need to get behind the serious Democrats, and get the rightward drifting Dems to reconsider their course. Hard times coming, and we better get right with the downtrodden.
