8. Splitting Dean off Will Fracture the Left
Infighting will eventually paralyze the left. There is too much at stake for the left to fight with two armies. This is going down a road that I don't want to be on.

I think the Cindy Sheehan / Howard Dean wing of the Democratic left needs to reconcile with the "mainstream" of the party in order to get things accomplished. Each side has to take the bitter medicine in order to heal the patient.

Hopefully we will see a united front by 2008. I don't think it will have much of an impact this Novemeber, but by 2008, unification will be paramount.
