- Rank-and-file progressives are the new liberal wing, in my view. The Clintons may be courting support from liberals, but they are politically aligned with the DLC wing. The Clintons and company were never politically liberal.

- Perhaps it might be better to say that the "liberal wing" never truly existed... that progressives that 100 years ago felt at home in the Teddy Roosevelt GOP have now finally migrated to the Democratic Party (my thesis, anyhow).
Could be a case of mislabeling... could equally be a case that the left-leaning brand of liberalism has played itself out, or morphed into a new progressive movement.
One of the neat things about progressivism is that it is entirely an American approach to governance, and not something hodgepodged from Europe. Libertarianism is similar, it just hasn't found a real voice yet at the kitchen table.
Sorry to be a philosopher about it all... but the Barack Obama campaign just fascinates me for one reason or another. The parallels to Kennedy are indeed striking.

Hi Eli, you and your organization are doing such a disservice to the American people. You and the people who control MoveOn.org are undermining efforts to end the war. MoveOn pushes candidates who ignore the US Constitution and International Law. Obama openly violates international law by threatening Iran with an attack.
