Who is going to be the future coalition partner of progressive dems?
DLC'ers

or

Greens

or

Neither.

I don't want to start a flame war, I have simply been wondering who has done more harm to the progressive cause, Greens or DLC Dems.

2. disgruntled Republicans
I really mean this. I've met quite a few old style Republicans who have awakened to the fact that things like Social Security are good, and that what Bushco is doing is very bad. They are waking up to the fact that progressives are actually advocating programs that are good for the regular people, and are changing their minds about a lot of things.

3. there are probably going to be a lot of them
I'd expect disgruntled rethugs, greens, DLC'ers, Libertarians, and even a fair number of religious types to join in. I'm not optimistic about what the results might be.
