It's supposed to be a party of the people...all the people, not pander to right wingers just to gain election. Jim Esch is a Democratic Hero. He stood by his principles and did what was right, and maybe it cost the election against a dim witted opponent but you know what, at the end of the day Jim and every one of his supporters can hold their heads high and know they embodied truly Democratic ideals... being for the people not for special intrests and pandering to a misguided public. Shame on those who do pander. Shame on those that care more about another term in office than protecting our freedoms and upholding their promise to their bosses...us. The most important thing any person has is their integrity. That's the one thing that can never be taken away with out your permission. I hope for a Democratic congress that is going to stand by what won both houses. Not a weak group of patsies that bows to a powerful and decieving executive. We have to be heard, True Democrats, we cannot stand quietly as our leaders sell out. Let's keep the Blues accountable. Dave, First of all, I think you’re right.

Its true that when I look around the room at Democratic events, it is the younger people that I admire most. We stick to our 'true blue' ideals and have the passion to shake things up in the next couple election cycles. dave, you are one of my heroes for keeping this blog alive and well over the summer!

I think you are exactly right. Unfortunately many of the powers-that-be in the NDP leadership think Repub-lite is the road to success. They constantly tout the improved financial condition of the state party, and that is a good thing. But it hasn't translated into more seats won by Dems and Dem registrations in Nebraska have actually declined as the rest of the country moves to the left. A new and different approach is needed, but I don't see it coming from the current leadership. Great post. I think you are exactly right.
