isn't much interested in the Left, and the Aministration takes occasional pot shots at the Left, and MSM throws the term around as if it represents ANY oppisition to the RW.

To even approach the goal Rude Pundit advocates means Mass organizing around a strong, short, clear philosophy; a coordinated take-over of the Democratic Party at the local level; and a means of Party discipline for candidates who stray from their philosophy. All in the next few months.

I don't think someone's idea for an ad is going to do it.
