The problem with progressives #1
Posted by G.A. Matiasz on June 19, 2007
Why is it that progressives think that the best person to rally the troops and lead them to victory is the guy who lost the last time around?
Beyondchron.com in the Bay Area is a mind-numbing example of this problem, with hopeful stories about momentum building for Al Gore to enter the presidential race and the potential for Matt Gonzalez to reunify the SF Left by running for mayor against Gavin Newsom.
Excuse me, but isn’t winning the point? And didn’t these guys demonstrate an inability to do so? In Europe, when the leader of a political party presides over the defeat of his party, frequently the leader steps down and lets someone else have a go at it. Something to consider.

Tell that to Israel. Shimon Peres is like Bill Murray in “What about Bob.” He is never gone. A five time loser, he will not go away.
I would consider it a privilege if you would add my blog “The Tygrrrr Express” http://www.blacktygrrrr.wordpress.com to your list of linked sites if you feel the quality is high.
Happy June.
