4. Isn't it amazing that

they have shifted the debate so far rightward that Obama can support supply side economic measures/corporate tax breaks and bailouts, increase warrantless surveillance and searches of Americans, entrench and mandate the domination by insurance profiteers of our health care system, leave Social Security and Medicare on the budget bargaining table, and still clearly be the more liberal candidate on the ballot.

8. Where the Republicans are today..

That's where the Democrats will be in ten years.

Been that way since 1980, I don't see it changing any time soon.

It's what happens when you split the difference between moderates and crazy right wingnuts.
