21. I will be
able to see it later. I will respectfully disagree with you about Ford. I do not think he is clueless. He is very intelligent, and there was a time when I had high expectations for him. But he makes conscious choices that have reduced his ability to be honest about what the democratic party needs to be doing today. If he were merely clueless, I could overlook his behaviors.

5. Markos is kicking Ford's ass.
Edited on Sun Aug-12-07 09:14 AM by FLDem5
it is a non-contest. Holy shit.

Way to go Markos.

Kos just gave a laundry list of what taxes are actually collected FOR - and how reckless tax cuts are bad for this country, the war, crumbling infrastructure.

Great stuff.

14. the final, nervous look on Ford's face at the end after the handshake
told the entire story of that little debate.

15. Yes, he lost, was way out of his element. Pathetic when even he
has to bring the Clenis up!

25. DLC are hot house flowers
used to being cultivated in the rarefied air of Beltway DC. They don't usually talk to real voters and spend most of their time agreeing with Beltway GOP pundits.

16. Ford was begging not to be left out n/t
The DLC sees it slipping away. Instead of wanting the head of the table seat now they'd love to get a seat at all.

23. He keeps saying it's semantics...
when it is actually policy differences. If Ford wasn't scared of irrelevancy, he wouldn't keep trying to blur the differences.

17. Kos linked DLC policy to Minn bridge collapse
He pointed out John Breaux engineered Bush's tax cuts.

My question: why is the MSM suddenly so concerned about the netroots?

19. The corporations and their
backs on MSM are getting worried. Government will not be shoved into Grover's bath tub.

20. Perhaps because they see a chasm in the Dem party and want to
exploit it.

22. Very likely
IMHO, it will only backfire, given DLC is unknown outside the Beltway and that the netroots are more in touch with regular voters.

What it will do is give the netroots more visibility and the credibility they deserve.
