Obama won the '08 primaries running on a rather progressive campaign, compared to Hillary, who was the establishment pick.
Obama then went on to win the general election, again while running on rather progressive themes. He campaigned on ending wars, promoting EFCA, reversing outsourcing and bringing factories back home, equal pay, better wages etc.
Those are some very progressive themes to run a national campaign for president on. He was elected while running on those prog themes.
He defeated a Dem powerhouse. He defeated the Dem establishment's favorite pick. He then went on to defeat the Repubs and Sen McCain/Brawlin.
He did this as a progressive.
A virtual unknown, outside of Democratic circles.
Virtual unknowns that run progressive campaigns can't win pres elections, RIGHT?
If anyone thinks that Bernie or Warren can't win, please review the '08 Dem primary and the ensuing general election.
Then, get back to me.
Sanders or Warren can win.
