A damn good perception of the Democratic leadership

after suffering years of cynical apathy over the political situation in this country, cynicism so deep that i actually didn't vote in 1996, the horrors of buscho bestirred me to embrace the democrats once again in the person of howard dean... but, over the past year, it has been increasingly clear that the dem leadership is as bankrupt in its way as the r's, minus the megalomania and ideological fervor... susan douglas seems to be having the same struggle...

The Democratic leadership seems somehow unable to grasp the huge gap in outrage between them and their base. Go anywhere, talk to people who are Democrats or, poor souls, progressives, and the sheer fury of everyday people, if it could be harnessed, would solve this winter's upcoming energy crisis. People are not only enraged; they are also deeply worried.
