In his new book, "Fear and Courage in the Democratic Party," Hurowitz examines the politics of fear, courage in leadership and, my personal favorite, wimp love in the Democratic Party. Through profiles of three heroes (Paul Wellstone, Moveon.org and Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats of 2006) and two "spineless weasels" (Bill Clinton and Tom Daschle, of course), Hurowitz shows that political survival for Democrats doesn't have to be prefaced by a policy of continuously shifting to the right. Rather, showing leadership and conviction even with less popular positions will ingratiate elected officials to voters far more than the Politics of Fear.
