Why cast a vote that’s clearly <i>wrong</i> and where there’s no political upside, either? With the FISA bill, there’s sucking up to wealthy telecoms, but at the risk of alienating a large section of voters, and on some other issues, donors aren’t even a factor. Congress is unpopular right now because they’re not <i>opposing</i> Bush enough.</p> You said it.

Dems issue subpoenas that are ignored and they do nothing. Obama teams up with a religious right nutcase on a crusade of “purpose, not violence” against gays. Clinton won’t withdraw troops till sometime after 2013?

I will vote for Dodd/Edwards simply because Dodd has chosen to stand up for the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, privacy and the rule of law. Let the telecoms fight it out in court…that is why we have courts, no?

Good stuff, on Clinton’s electability, or lack thereof. :o)

Handing her the nomination on a beltway-and-MSM greased platter will be the kiss of death for us.

And conversely, keeping the nominating process open throughout the primaries is the single most important thing we can do, to take advantage of the opportunity for a landslide of historic proportions.

We need to keep this open; to keep asking the tough questions of all of ‘em, and to make every primary count.
