Prometheus 6

I'm talking about all the folk Matt Stoller links.

What did you expect to happen? Is the Presidential candidate not always the leader of the party?

Okay, let me put it this way.

Both these guys ran at a time their respective parties had no leader. You know what happened to them.

I admit I was surprised when I heard Obama's campaign was pointing folks away from MoveOn and such. But what you have to remember is that Obama is not the only point at which you can apply pressure. You got your crews that are looking at Congressional candidates, too. They will attend to you. If you can't influence an officeholder's reaction to events, you try to influence the events he must respond to.

Come to think of it, that might be better anyway.
