“Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you’re worried that I just might win. You know the way to stop me, but you don’t have the discipline.” The DLC and other Democratic centrists push Tom Vilsack, Jeanne Shaheen, and a handful of other milquetoast contenders to be the next DNC head (and to thwart the Dean alternative.) Look, it’s obvious the Republican-lite status quo wasn’t working. It’s time to drop the protective camouflage and articulate a progressive narrative that highlights the grotesquely pro-corporate nature of the GOP. With that in mind, let’s sidestep the party flaks, and go ahead and pick Howard. At this point, it’s not like we have anything to lose.

How in the heck do you know that quote? You a Leonard Cohen fan or has that song been made famous by someone else… oh wait, nevermind… Just beneath this comment screen is a pick of the Essential Leonard Cohen….
Yeah, I’ve had a number of Cohen’s more grizzled and apocalyptic songs in my head lately. But, FYI, there’s also an R.E.M. version of “First We Take Manhattan” floating around as a B-side.
