but given how conservative some of the candidates are, i gotta wonder. i mean, c'mon, we have Mary Landrieu in the Democratic party, a woman who has one of the worse pro-choice records in the senate.

sincerely, as i have never been too keen about drinking of the liberal kool-aid, i am being cautious about this "take back congress" optimism.

yes, having more democrats will be good. a country deserves the candidates they elect. there's so many democrat switchers being pushed as "good democrats", that it makes me wary. if people in the netroots honestly believe that getting conservative democrats will somehow bring balance, a have a bridge i want to sell you.

we need more than seats. we need progressives who can inspire a cultural shift in the way we pass legislation and do politics in this country. where are they because, i ain't seeing them.
