Re: A lot to chew on (none / 0)

"Having to go on faith that we can slip it in the back door once we get our candidates elected who don't like to talk about it isn't nearly as satisfying."

Forgive me, but it isn't very realistic, either.  Wasn't this how the Clintons won, before?  After we all voted for Bill despite his triangulating weathervane rhetoric, what part of the progressive agenda did his administration accomplish beyond the Family Medical Leave Act?  Even that was compromised beyond recognition.  Yes, it IS something that a lot of people want and need, but (like W's tax cuts) it's a rather paltry record to hang a legacy on.  And I don't believe Bill's "wars of terror" were any more justified or effective than Chimpy's.
BTW, I'm not dissing Lucas - it's a thoughtful and useful analysis.  I just don't trust these "centrists" at all.  FWIW
