Reply #172: *** NEW LEADERS FOR A NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY*** [View All]

[autorank]

I'll give you one example. There was a knee jerk response to Harry Reid , D, NV as Senate Majority Leader. There was a vigorous debate on DU and by the time it was over, Reid was looking pretty good. He opposed Gonzales, debated on Boxer's side on Ohio, called out the RNC, called out Greenspan, got near total discipline on Social Security, and is ready to go to total war to stop from getting rolled on crappy judges.

The knee jerk response was he's a Western conserviative, won't fight, bla bla bla. Well, since 2000 he's fighting more than any other than Senators Byrd, Welstone, and Graham.

I say more critical anlaysis. Why because we need...
