Are we the majority or minority of the party on the DU?
edit: I'm not sure if this is allowed, but this is posted in the Lobby as well. I just wanted to get a broader perspective.

Most the talking heads out there are claiming a major fault line between the Dean democratic party vs. the Clinton democratic party. One has to wonder if the progressive side of the party, to which I consider myself (and I believe most DUers)are the bigger portion of the Democratic voting block, or will a Clinton endorsed candidate be more popular with the party? Will the rift show up in 2004 as bitterness and lack of voting if the Clinton backed candidate gets trounced by Dean. That, of course, would be a nightmare, but if one reads the op-ed pages, that seems to be the track our party is running on.

3. Minority
Most Dems are center-left than the majority of the people here are very left.

4. But a very influential minority.
By virtue of the passion and commitment and energy that this element of the party brings with them, they exercise an influence far greater than their mere lack of numbers.
