(68,643 posts)You have no idea why he picked her or send a link if I am wrong. I will say this only...when Bill Clinton ran in 92 he saved us from another four years of Bush...he ran as a centrist because he could get elected...no progressive had won since Roosevelt...unlessYou count Johnson as progressive and I think he was mostly...Kennedy was not progressive if you look at his policies. And looking at the last election...I don't see a leftward movement even now. Dean was successful...Debbie not so much...she is in Florida, and she is 'third' way..whatever that means because she wins elections...look at what happened to her primary opponent. This is why I want Dean and not some ideologue who will base the selection of candidates on his personal views and not on who can win in various states.
