52. You bring up an interesting point Matsubara...
and this is slightly OT, but many Dems got to where they are because unions and other progressive causes have poured a lot of money into their campaigns.

Unions especially have spent exorbitant amounts of money on Democrats, and still their legislative influence continues to wane. These are the types of groups that are going to have to step up to fundamentally change the Democratic party and bring it back to it's populist roots, they're in a much better position to do so than one person such as Cindy Sheehan IMO.
