>>However I think you are probably unlikely to appreciate the general stance here.<< You may be right on that account. I really didn't expect a personal attack. >> Have you ever left the US? << Yup. Spent almost 20 years of my life outside the US. >>So you count as "extreme left" major (heaven help us) Democratic figures, but obviously rather missed the entire point about humorous commentators...<< That's only because I couldn't think of Michael Moore's name as I responded the first time. Or any of the other left-leaning clowns who are so quick to bash those on the right. You apparently didn't read the part in my post about Coulter being a counterpoint to them. So, from your post, I'm guessing that only left of center "centrists" should participate here? I didn't get that from the intro to the subject.

These are obviously beyond your ken if you equate Pelosi to far left. Carville helped Clinton who is decidedly centrist, a DLC type, not even a left wing Dem; Dean is a fiscal conservative and something of a populist but certainly not a leftist in any traditional understanding of the term. I think the closest we have to any traditional left winger in political office at the present is Bernie Sanders, the sole Rep from Vermont who is likely to be one of the two Vermont Senators in the next congress. And he's not even a Dem.
