| The way to victory in 2008: mobilization and persuasion, NOT triangulation. |
|
Whoever we nominate, we need to fight NOW for a progressive platform and demand that whomever we nominate fight for it and DEFEND IT under right-wing attack.
It should be OUR platform, not the nominees. After all, it's OUR party, not the nominee's private club.
A grass-roots, mobilization-based, mass-voter registration based strategy in ALL 50 States is the way to victory.
Not a convention featuring bland centrism, luxury boxes filled with champaign and caviar for big donors, and cops beating protestors in the streets.
Only a people's party can beat the Republican smear and hate machine. A Beltway Party can't.
ON TO VICTORY!

| 4. I will say personally I believe in the big tent. I don't want to cast anyone aside. |

| 5. I want the big tent to be bigger, by including all those the Republicans demonize and exclude. |

Together, all the "Others" are the American majority. The Rainbow IS the majority, not the suburbs. We just have to figure out how to unite and galvanize the Rainbow.
Jesse Jackson had his flaws, but he was right on this. It did the party no good to reject his vision.
