37. What possible difference does it make or what relevance?
I don't understand your point? Their expectations are unrealistic. There is no pleasing them.

And the fact is there are more votes to be gained in the center than there are on the left fringe. The nader/3rd Party will be lucky to get 1% this time. This election will be fought over the 10%+ of the swing votes in the center.

Do the math. The majority of the rank and file of the Democratic voters are simply not going to accept a far left agenda. I'm not even saying I don't agree with parts of it, I'm simply saying that a radical shift to the left will never work and will lose more votes than it will gain.

The shift the the right took place over a generation, and any shift back to the left has to take place in small steps. Just STOPPING the shift the the right and the Bush neocon agenda is a major step in the right direction. Trying to sabotage that with 3rd Party dilution is mutiny.
