Open Left

I disagree with both of you here

Neither primarying Obama (which will lead to another '68, obviously), nor supporting a 3rd party candidate (which will lead to another '00, obviously), nor voting Repub (which will lead to another Brown '10, obviously) is the way to go here.

Forget Obama. He's the only non-Repub who can win in '12, and we don't want a Repub president so soon (and no 3rd party candidate can win, obviously). What we DO want, and still have a chance in '10 & '12, is a more progressive Dem majority (even if it means a smaller overall Dem majority), which would force Obama to the left.

He listens to the most powerful and threatening people in the room. Let's become that.
