I hope I'm wrong, but it doesn't look good for Obama. The opposition
to Obama (from left and right) is highly likely to prevail. That'd be
too bad for most people in the world.
We (and I mean we regular people, left, progressives, liberals,
whoever cares, especially those in PA, OH, MI, IN, FL, MO, NC, ND, MT)
have only a few weeks to turn things around.
Julio,
the opposition from the left is essentially me, Michael Smith, Carrol
Cox, and a couple of hippies in Oregon. How can we prevail and what
impact can we have? And for that same reason how can we (the 'we' you
list above) act: (a) together, (b) have an effect?
Even the somewhat more influential "netroots" is lamenting that the
Obama camp wants to merely employ them as foot soldiers and has
clearly turned down any other type of support or input from them.
