Open Left

I agree that Bernstein should resign

But don't believe he supports this.  His attempt at defending this was pathetic and he's too sharp not to know it.  

Obama's BS also sounds like Jimmy Carter.  My question is who will be our Ted Kennedy in 2012?  Unlike 1980, public support for central state based, demand-sided solutions is rising.  A Democratic challenger from the left wouldn't be waging a rearguard battle to preserve a rapidly dissolving New Deal consensus, s/he'd be embracing ideas whose time has clearly come.
