I'm pretty tired of Democrats settling for elected leaders who don't seem to have a real good handle on why it is exactly that they're Democrats. Murtha or Hoyer? Let me fix my hair up real pretty so that one of those two fine choices (representing one-half of the TPMmuckrakers favorite Dems list!) can take me to the dance. Jeez. I've started an outsider's campaign for a dark-horse candidate, a true progressive who believes in clean government: Henry Waxman for House Majority Leader.
I'm sure why I get why people don't seem to think that Majority Leader can be a powerful perch from which to shape the party. Tom Delay anyone?
