Reply #9: "...when they’re not applying their cold hands to Democratic campaigns, [View All]

the strategists can put a chill on any Democrat’s principled behavior by whispering in the ears of journalists that a seemingly noble act is reckless, calculated or somehow both."

The hatchet job on Hackett, Pelosi's problems with Dean's strategy, the leaders' reluctance to advance a defining agenda, Feingold's 'grandstanding'... Every single disparate thought democrats have finds its way into the msm via anonymous strategists and former Clinton aides. You have to wonder why that is, why the insiders consider any hint of independence subversive even though the very reporters they leak to are describing a hesitant, fractured, powerless party, their party. They are becoming as big an enemy to the party as any republican, often beating them to the punch when things get a little heated. Our voices are not drowned out, they are ignored, allegedly on the advice of these unelected people.

Do you think Kerry will heed the author's advice with the three-pronged approach he suggested? He is standing behind Feingold.

Great article, thank you, helderheid.
