Peter Daou, pretty much defining leadership.
And, win lose or draw, I feel like if the Obama administration had taken hard stands on something, anything, the excitement gap yawning between the Tea Party and the progressives simply would not exist; the simple fact is that the Democratic majority over in Congress is flatly afraid to lead. Anywhere. On anything. Too little time in the wilderness, apparently. I wouldn’t mind so much if the GOP leadership-in-waiting had even one good idea in its collective head. Rest assured: they do not.
Keep hammering away at that flag, Tashtego.
