Reply #8: Without "new lights" we are stuck with this same old/same old/tired DLC [View All]

[KoKo]

that's out of ideas but refuses to allow any new light into the room for fear of losing "face/place."

So far we don't have a new face on the Left/progressive side who has emerged. Dean is now head of DNC so we have to count him out unless there's a crisis and he responds being four years older and wiser, and his wife feels more comfortable with DC and a White House role.

I have hopes someone we don't yet see will come out. Pop Out in a BLACE like John Kennedy did, and we on the "progressive side" will find someone we can be comfortable with and trust.

Don't seem 'em yet...and if they don't emerge...then it's going to be hard for me to get energized to work out on the streets agains. :shrug: I know that Hillary will have many troops who WILL work for her, though.

My gut tells me that lazy Dems are more than happy for a Hillary/Bill Redux with places traded. Because in another four years folks will so sick of what's happened they will want "security over change and reform and impeachment and more hearings about what the Bush Crime Family and their employees have been doing for decades."

Dowd has it correctly with "fatigue." We are all very tired. Going back to Bill would seem just a comfortable trade and at some point maybe even a vidication that WE were Correct and THEY were wrong.

It makes me tired to think about it...I hope someone else emerges.
