Code word for -- conservative; differential to existing power structure; prudent; well bred; conceited; supercilious.

I can hardly remember a presidential election when the Repuglicans didn't argue vigorously that the Democratic Party nominee was "not Presidential".

This country can't survive much more "realistic" public policy. We know what that means, too -- don't rock the boat; don't fight the banks or mega-corporations; always be ready for war; so-called entitlement reform; more 'free trade'; so on and so forth.

If the Democratic Party has become so risk averse, so stick-in-the-mud, so moderate-conservative, so pedestrian that an insider elitist like Hillary Clinton is all we can do ... then we are going to deserve what we get in November.
