"Whether the White House can succeed depends very much".......on Democratic support.

I suppose the Democrats will not want to appear "weak" they will instead be actually weak by supporting America's rapid siide into fasicsm and war.

No one politician is going to stand up to them becuase an individual pollitician or whistleblower is easily silenced. Look what happened to Craig Murray the British Ambassador to Uzbekistan when he exposed British and American and Uzbekistan Torture centers....he is standing up....but no one even know who he is. Or Tice.

People will have to take to the streets and be unruly or one of Larry Johnson's friends will have to take matters into their own hands.

Move On is bullshit and does nothing on Iran/Iraq. Air America is some kind of Pop Political Fluff Show, Daily Kos is Political Junk Food. The Democrats are just faking it, they are on the same side as the Republicans.

When the Bloggers start getting advertising money they quickly become mainstream.

Apparently William Rivers Pitt has suggested that Dems should just get up en mass and walk out at some predetermined moment during the SOTU. As he notes, all it would take is some courage (meaning of course that it'll never happen in a million years, but would be a cool idea).

until such time Dems find cohesion on message we'll continue to be mauled by Rove/Bush. We manage quite well to quickly disavow Murtha, Gore and Dean when they deliver messages of substance.

Dems are seen as being 'all over the place' on issues leaving voters confused on where we stand. That's not a model for winning elections.

Downright frustrating.
