63. I'm not here praising anyone. Sure the eventual nominees had to be supported in
the general. I think overall the party was shortsighted. Sure they needed to win but they could have also courted more populist candidates instead of health insurance (and other corps.) lackeys. The idea of the so called 50 state strategy was right on but the execution lacked a broader vision (than just winning and get someone in there). Dean was part of this but Emmanuel and Schummer aren't exactly known for their fiery populism. Which we could use right now to refocus that anger on to Wall St and the pukes.
