[More Than A Feeling]

I can't decide whether he chose the proper title, or if a better one would have been "The Futility of Wishful Thinking". He assures us that he understands the nature of the Republicans, and the feelings of the Democratic base, and then he goes on about bringing the nation together, etc. I wonder if he truly understands exactly what we are up against, or if he is just saying that so we won't be angry with him if he chooses compromises that sell out Democratic values and to triangulate against the party. He was mentored by Joe Lieberman after all, and I wonder exactly what it was he learned from Traitor Joe.

I haven't ruled him out (or anyone else) but he does make me nervous. I don't know if I can trust him to maintain his integrity and do what's right for our country, or if he will care more about what the media thinks of him.
