The only question I have is whether Democrats have the guts to make that argument, and if elected, will deliver a genuinely progressive government instead of a grab bag of Clintonian mini-ideas. And because of Republican mismangement we’re likely to be heading into some lean years, no matter how competent the government, and you know the rightie noise machine will blame Democrats for the mess movement conservatism made. They won’t go away anytime soon. [...] […] I think a majority of the American people are ready to listen to an argument for progressivism.

It's also the fertilizer for politicians. Lucy, I'd love to take you at your word. And, I have some hope that Clinton, if elected (as an insider), can make changes. I'm just not holding my breath... After what he did last week, I'm supporting Dodd. I've waffled from Edward's to Obama for too long. Dodd is the only one who stands behind The Constitution. That's what he's basing his candidacy on. And that's enough for me! Money is the root of all evil.

I know this is a hard concept for Americans to understand , I am amazed still by how much Americans make a " god " of the dollar . They are motivated by pride, ego, legacy , power seeking of course too ... but the dollar is not a factor . They are not attracted to luxury or outrageous lifestyles . Look what Bill Clinton has done with his new found wealth post presidency .... he has started a Foundation ... what has Bush 41 done ? Hillary is no Leona Helmsley , give her some credit . She has been active in childrens issues and womens issues for decades . She is the reason that we do not allow genital mutilation ( female ) in this country . She is playing center until she gets elected, but in her heart she is a liberal , this I know . Maha ,

If the Demacratic control of congress expands, as seems likely, and the new additions are more progressive, as also seems likely, then any president will be pulled to the left. Perhaps allowed to be more leftish would be a better way of saying it. The main impediment to progressive legislation is and always will be the liberal media.
