1. Does this take note of how far right the "center" has moved?

4. Yup, that's how he can be to the left...

essentially selling the policies of Mitt Romney and Bob Dole.

3. Were people ever under the misconception that he was progressive?

He wasn't even progressive in the primary.

7. Absolutely and I simply can't understand it. They bought into this grandiose idea

propagated by the wingnuts and Corporate Media and now they are mad. Doesn't surprise me about Ed. He is often very misinformed and wrong. Love him, though. We need his voice.
