I think this is an excellent point and it's one of the biggest reasons why I will not vote for Hillary in my primary.

PS---If you assume Cenk is a "Hillary Hater", please keep in mind he's been defending her *a lot* lately against irrelevant attacks. You know, non-substantive attacks related to her gender, etc:

1. He is wrong- Edwards is the most radical after DK - then Hillary - and in last is Obama who has said

he believes in slow change.

7. A couple things

First, I wouldn't say Edwards is "radical" by any means, but I do agree Dennis is the most progressive of the bunch.

As for the second point, we're getting into rhetoric (obviously), but I'm not sure how it's so clear that Obama is the one most likely to push for incremental change. With that said, one reason he's my second choice (and not my first) is because I admit I am put off by what I consider to be an *overly* conciliatory message. I realize that compromise is necessary, but only to an extent.

And I also feel that issues like torture (for example) allow no room for compromise, i.e. we need to STOP doing it, period.

I'm also bothered by Hillary being dead last on the change bandwagon, especially in light of her many other stances. And many of her supporters LIKE the fact that she seems to want incremental change because they (mistakenly IMO) believe that's the ONLY way change will ever take place (despite the fact that as Cenk points out, republicans seem to able to make radical changes in short periods of time).

2. Right now change needs to come like a sledgehammer not a leaky faucet

4. Right now change needs to come like a sledgehammer not a leaky faucet

Not in the sorry shape our economy is in.

Try doing too much all at once and you're risking another depression.

Obama's change it slowly approach wont be as big a shock as Edwards plans, and Hillary wont be much different than Bush in sucking up to the Wall Street crowd.

5. I guess it depends on who you ask

Also, the economy isn't the ONLY issue here.

But since you mentioned it, at least one popular economist sees it differently:

3. Why does all plumbing run down hill

So the shit will run down hill and that is all we will get is shit.

6. that is absolutely correct...Cenk has been fair to her

another great Young Turks show.

8. You have to clean house before you can put in the new furniture.

We have to elect a president who will prosecute the war profiteers. That's the only way to get off our addictions to war and oil and use tax money for the good of America.

[ihavenobias]

9. So

which candidate(s) do you think will clean house?

[JDPriestly]

10. Edwards. He is the only candidate who knows how to clean house.

11. His description of Hillary's "slow change" approach fits Pelosi and Reid quite well also

Boo to slow, useless change and Republican pandering. They didn't give a shit how we felt when they took charge in 2001 and changed every single thing we as a country were doing.
