Democrats are mainly centrist-progressives, not "far left". You cannot name a single powerful democratic leader who is "far left". Dennis Kucinich got what, 2% of the primary votes? People like Howard Dean are much more fiscally conservative than anyone in the Bush administration.

So this "far left" business should be reserved for the Green Party or a few in the Black Caucus. Not the democratic mainstream. You call Gore, Kerry, Wes Clark, Edwards and Warner "far left". They're all in the middle and those are the big five (I think) for the Dem nomination in 2008. Also John Murtha is a conservative and he speaks for most Dems on Iraq. Biden, Feinstein, Richardson and Hillary Clinton are not at all "far left" either.

Contrast with Bushies in power who are certain "far right" though not conservative: Cheney, Delay, Frist, Allen, Santorum, all pretty far right but out of touch with traditional conservative values.
