I listened to lots of political shows this morning on C-Span and the talking heads and what I come away with is that the base of both parties are going to back their candidates and that independents and disgruntled repubs, if they vote at all are going to vote Dem as a vote against the big spending, Iraq war hawk, corrupt Repubs. They are not going to vote for in favor of liberal causes but rather against the current repugs in congress. So, I think that the Ford, Casey and Lieberman types are our ace in the hole.

I am what you would call a far left liberal and I hope to see a new progressive movement come into being soon but it won't happen in the next two years. I don't think we will see health care reform or amnesty for immigrants or repeal of the tax cuts in the next two years. The seats we will win in Repuke districts will be for two years only unless the Dem who wins acts like a conservative.

I'm willing to take that so we can put the breaks on this corrupt administration and it friends in congress who are trashing our Constitution and killing the working class.
