Reply #29: Booman has a good diary up today....for after the primaries.

I like Booman. He does not fit a particular spot on the scale of liberal moderate centrist whatever. I guess that may be why I usually relate to his posts pretty well.

You won't understand the snip unless you read the whole post.

First he mentions Ellen Tauschers attack on the "left" this week.

"I think there's tremendous agreement and awareness that getting the majority and running over the left cliff is what our Republican opponents would dearly love," Ms. Tauscher said, adding that this was something "we've got to fight."

He then has this to say.

The young monk wonders what we are doing sullying our principles by carrying people like Ford, Casey Jr., and Heath Schuler across the stream. The old monk says, I have already put them down, but you are still carrying them.

After November 7th, the netroots, at least people like Stoller, Bowers, and me, will not be carrying these people over the water. We will have moved on...to defeating them in their next primaries."

So I voted, so did my hubby. We voted for every Democrat. We voted for two very proudly, and we voted for the others out of a sense of duty.
