Reform may be the big issue, but this has also turned into an issue that defines the Democratic party. With Dean as DNC Chair, about 75% of the party can postion themselves as conservative Democrats if they wish to.
An increasingly important issue for me is why it is so difficult to call President Bush a liar. I would prefer psychotic pathological liar, but liar would be acceptable. Sen. Dayton came real close to calling Rice a liar, he may have actually done so; I haven't seen his exact words. We need more of that from the Democratic party.
I don't understand the politics of this at all. Maybe somebody could explain it for me. Republicans called Clinton a liar, rapist, murderer, cocaine dealer and stalker. Remember when Filegate and Travelgate were considered impeachable offenses? Why the hell can't the Democratic party go on the offense just as brutally with a much more unpopular President, with much more morally offensive policies?
For God's sake, please! Sombody relieve JollyBuddah of his emotional torment and call President Bush a liar!

I was very tempted to ask Frost on the conference call if "knowing what you know today, do you regret your vote authorizing the iraq war resolution". I was so close to asking as he spoke how the bush administration misled him and congress back in 2003, but I didn't. Oh well.
