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.

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.
