suggests to me the heart of the party. I'll agree that she may not be that popular among the union types. But that is because the union types are in trouble coming up with their own incarnation of transnational. When they come up with an international credit union, investment house, insurance corporations, etc. etc. that crosses the world... I'm in.

Until then... I'm going to have to vote with the people who actually vote (in Canada the rank & file union members make the policy of the NDP and pay the bills, and then their membership votes for somebody else).

I'm just saying that Nader's anti-corporate, anti-economic rants have garnered him 2% of the vote.

Most people in Canada and the USA are fiscal conservatives (they remember debt in the 1970s and 80s and they do not like it). They know government debt will kill ability to solve problems (just like Horge Bush does and uses government debt to kill the American government so his corporate benefactors have nothing fierce like America (the country) to stare them down when they miss behave.

I mean she has the votes among these people. And she will get the votes of the rank and file democrats if she wins the nomination.

But that is a long way away. First - we have to watch Karl Rove dismantle the electorate of New York State. Perhaps Hillary will not survive that... which is why Rove is there.
