There's good people out there---Clark, Schweitzer, even my "buddy" Gore. There are good proposals-- the Democrats Security Plan, The Apollo Alliance's energy plan... The energy plan alone could help the economy start to recover, could put America back into the manufacturing business, ie the manufacture of energy, and a revitalisation of our dying auto industry. But they arent supported by the DLC-types in the party. Reid, who I like overall, has not succeeded in creating a unified party. The Clintons? Again, putting themselves above the needs of the country and the world. I really believe that a Hilary presidential bid would be an absolute catastrophe... She will be unable to truly activate the progressive base, and will most certainly activate the wingnuts, and may actually help to unify what is certainly going to be a pretty split Republican base. I wish Bill would drop the hobnobbing and power playing, and get to work creating coalition amongst the Dems, but Hilary's got to pull her hat out of the ring, definitively, for that to happen. Sad to say, I don't see her doing that., I think her personal ambition is too vast.
