Time to Get Tough
An introduction from the editors
by Thomas Schaller, Executive Editor
3.15.04

Years from now, we will look back on this time as a critical moment in the history of American politics in general and progressive politics in particular. It will be either the moment when progressivism was beaten into utter submission and began its long walk in the wilderness, or the moment when progressives got up off their knees and turned the tide.

There is no doubt that the right has many advantages in the war of ideas and the war of politics, not least of which is the seemingly limitless stream of money that funds their efforts. But more than any other factor, their successes have been built on the mindset with which they approach politics. Simply put, they play to win.

It's time for progressives to do the same. With that in mind, during this week we will present a series of articles outlining ways progressives can get tough.

Monday
Getting Tough with the Right

Tuesday
Getting Tough with the Media

Wednesday
Getting Tough with Progressive Constituencies

Thursday
Getting Tough on the Campaign Trail

1. Nice site -- healthy aggressive attitude!

Kos also promoted it and it looks very promising. A nice array of contributors and I've always been fond of contributor Amy Sullivan who has her own blog as well: www.politicalaims.com

More angry, articulate Democrats. It's shaping up as a very good year.
