#2 Please do guys. It will make his slaughter in 2012 at the polls so much more probable.

#3 The Dems should run this candidate against Bambi in the primaries, and run him/her again in the general election. Maybe as a Greenie. Make sure you get the candidate on the ballot in all 57 states.

#4 Idiots who think that because their team won last time, they should get everything they want,and it didn't help that their guy said, "I won. Get over it."

Politics is the art of the possible. Over the past two years the Democrats have accomplished quite a few of their highest priority goals, by using all the classical methods of political chicanery, plus a few new ones invented for the purpose. The only reason the Democrats didn't achieve more is that the public -- which is more conservative than otherwise -- caught on and started fussing.

But Rabbi Michael Lerner has long been more than a bit of a blind idiot. Except when he's being a total idiot; the man is flexible in that way. I guess he's moved on from his shocked discovery that his dear little Progressive friends are flaming antisemites.

#8 They could run Kinky Friedman and win, but they never do it.

#9 ...this campaign would pressure Obama toward much more progressive positions...

Sporting "Coexist" bumper stickers and boycotting the advertisers on FOX News just ain't cuttin it anymore. The good Rabbi has, shall we say, a more comprehensive strategy. Religious groups pretending to promote one political candidate as a means to advance another may seem a bit duplicitous. But this isn't about moving Obama further left. It's about achieving...uhem..."Social Justice". If say, a self proclaimed Socialist like Bernie Sanders were to run, Obama might not seem as much of...well...a Socialist.
