John,
I just got my MA from the U of Chicago and regretted moving out of my apartment and back to NY end of may 68. I missed all the fun. Are you from chicago? I spent two years dodging chicago police while in chicago. NYC cops could get rough at times but there was a huge difference between them and the swaggering chicago cops with their gestapo like menatality (even on a traffic stop).
Anyway Bobby died in 68. Liberal mantle fell back to reactionary knee jerk new dealers and then failed. By 1980 i was a reagan democrat. Now the republicans are deconstucting in much the same ways as the dems did after RFK was killed and Obama is the one offering a progressive vision that might just include some of us mainstreamers. I am still registered as a democrat and look forward to the NJ primary. Mike

PS i am putting in some of the personal stuff so folks here get some feeling for what we went thru and why we wind up in thie place at this time. This thread is fun because even the guys who might excoriate me for my conservative side have to be nice because they want my vote. And thats cool and thats the way it should be--Big tents and an occasional landslide election leading to change for the good.
