tabsey says:

I see very little of nominees being badgered about the needs of the people. Until this balanced article. The people set the issues and the people still consider the opinion of neo-cons as worth listening to. Not telling Dick'n'George what the people want has given them the freedom to war and fill up the coffers of their arms dealing mates.

A Democrat moving into the White House in January of 2008, coupled with a Democratic majority in Congress (let's even fantasize 60 votes in the Senate) is a necessary precondition. But electoral triumphs will not be sufficient. Recall that we had both at the start of 1993, yet too little was accomplished to reverse these trends. All are worse now than they were then.
