146. When does it start opposing?
As for the rest of your plan. The left has been trying to take over the party as long as I can remember with the very tactics that you propose. With the exception of '72, we have failed.

Daschle was a lap dog. Reid is showing signs of replacing him on Bush's lap.

After the last 3 defeats of "electable" moderate candidates, how much money do you think you can raise from the followers of Dean? As compared to how much the DLC can bring to the table from their corporate supporters?

I admire your tenacity, if not your naivete, in believing that the diminishing left wing of the party can overcome the combined forces of the RNC and their pals the DLC who are both out to destroy the left.

Methinks you are whistling past the graveyard, the one that contains the not yet buried corpse of the Democratic Party.
