The DU is a lot more left leaning and activist than the majority of the American public.

Oh really? Most Americans want decent jobs, job security, education, healthcare, and a government that works for them instead of against them.

The majority of Americans are NOT making IWR and the PATRIOT Act a litmus test for their choice of candidates.

So you think so? wait until the Repukes start saying that which ever DLC/PNACer went along with their agenda and enabled them.

The biggest factor with the public is that they are angry with Bush and they want him the hell out of office. The record turnouts at the primaries have to be keeping Rove awake at nights, because it’s a damned good sign for Democrats.

Wait till they find out the truth about Kerry.

The people voting in these primaries are not "sheeple"; they are making an informed choice. It's just laughable to say that a couple months ago people were making the “right” choice because they were well informed and politically astute, and that now that the voting has started people are making the “wrong” choice because their IQ’s suddenly all took a nosedive and they are allowing the media to chose for them. What happened is that people did NOT allow the media make their choice for them.

Darn that will of the voters! Don't you just HATE when that happens?

Again, they will find out soon enough...when it's too late.

There is no question that Kerry is abundantly qualified to be President, and ridiculous to suggest that there would be no difference between him and Bush. That's just the obnoxious ranting of someone having a tantrum.

And if it makes any non-Kerry supporters feel better, I think a good deal of what we are seeing DOES have a lot to do with electability. But what electability means to the majority of voting Democrats is not the same as what electability means to the more left leaning activist membership of DU. Here electability is stuck in the past with the IWR and the vote for the PATRIOT Act, to name a few examples. For the majority of voting Democrats electability is not dwelling on the anger or staying stuck in the past but MOVING FORWARD and electing someone who can FIX all the mess that this dimwitted neocon sonovabitch and the rest of his criminal cohorts got us in to.

Promoting somebody on past performance has always been part of a more just society and rewarding cowardice and nepotism has not.

The majority of Democratic voters are simply not going go along with a radical agenda, and the Democratic Party is not going to commit suicide to appeal to the small percent that might go Green and abandon the greater numbers left of center. Logic dictates that's not ever going to happen.

So fixing problems and demanding that problems get fixed the right way and TODAY is a "radical agenda"? So looking the other way when their is a problem is a "moderate agenda?

We desperately need to get a Democrat in the White House in 2004. That's the first step.

The first step is to take the corruption out of the party before it ever gets into power. It hasn't been done so it doesn't deserve to hold the reins. Case closed.
