2. make promises to the left, then once elected move to the right
where the big campaign bucks are to be found. Lather, rinse, repeat as necessary.

17. Add Harkin and the many other liberals in the Senate.
Dem party is a big tent, not everybody is going to be a liberal though. Look at the house, it is pretty liberal. The key is to get more liberals into the Senate in 2010.

15. Is there any inherent definition to it?
Are there things you have to support or oppose? Is it solely in what you choose to identify yourself, or does it have a meaning?
