3. Depending on what happens in September....
...this is a wound that if not tended to and at least in the process of healing, could hurt certain Dems, particularly on the immigration issue. I have a friend who is a dyed-in-the-wool Dem but who constantly sends me emails that are derogatory on the issue of immigration. He lives in California.

As well as the issue of impeachment. Most progressives see this as a "heart and soul" issue. An issue that defines what we are all about. But we're told, in a quite off-putting way, that its not on the table. End of discussion. In my experience, Dems don't generally like being talk down to. And that's how I feel Pelosi is talking to us.

Sheehan may or may not run, and may or may not beat her. But the wounds will only deepen and it will only convince us even more that these old-style Dems need to retire. Even if its with our help.

K&R!!!
