I like how things seem to be shaping up. Even if Dems don't win in 2004, the liberal faction may be able to reshape the platform if Dean garners enough excitement and support.

While I understand he will have to return more to the center of the platform, at least he will have given legitimacy to many of the more left's issues. Not only that, but I think that our party has been slipping due to the proliferation of Republican-lite candidates rather than the their inability to speak to some ephemereal indecisive population.
