As candidate Obama said in 2008

As candidate Obama said in 2008:

“The greatest risk we can take is to try the same old politics with the same old players and expect a different result.”


Today, trying the same old Democratic players is a risk we cannot afford.

and I'm beginning to believe that an awful lot of DU has me on ignore.


Nominating Hillary Clinton would represent a giant step backward. Even though Bernie Sanders is older than she is, he has some ideas that are brand-new to the current Democrat Party. As does Elizabeth Warren. And probably Martin O'Malley, although I don't know much about him. I'm not crazy about Jim Webb's brand of conservatism, he'd be a relative newcomer.

Tom McCall on an issue circa 1971:
"We stand in danger of drowning in a sea of old testimony and strangling on the meager gruel of bland cliché."
