The Progressive Honor Roll of 2012

[Ichingcarpenter]

The Nation’s annual Most Valuable Progressives Honor Roll has been going strong for the better part of a decade, and its alumni are moving up. Elizabeth Warren is now a senator-elect. Keith Ellison and Raúl Grijalva co-chair the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Two of our most valuable state legislators were elected to Congress on November 6: Wisconsin’s Mark Pocan and Arizona’s Kyrsten Sinema. Ed Schultz has a prime-time show on MSNBC. The Dream Act dreamers spoke from the podium of the Democratic National Convention, and President Obama and Vice President Biden hailed their courage. But after a long election season and a hopeful outcome, there is still work to be done. Here are some of the Americans doing it.

1. It's too bad that Sherrod Brown has to operate in the shadow of Bernie Sanders...

This is nothing against Sen. Sanders who is the very embodiment of what a Progressive should be...

But Sherrod is more mainstream and has more influence in the Democratic Caucus just because he calls himself a Democrat. Plus he is from Ohio and I have known him for 30 years or so...
