Barack Obama is being interviewed on CNN. Last I heard, he was re-considering his previous refusal to run for the Demo nomination in '08.
I wonder how a Clinton-Obama race for the Demo nomination will play out?
CNN is making the point that there are a lot of "conservative Democrats" - what used to be called "Yellow Dogs" - being elected. If that's so, it means that there won't be as big a change in approach as you might have thought, even if the Demos win overall.
Personally, I think the members of the leadership of the Dems are so liberal that you could see splits within the new Demo caucus. We'll see!
More later.
"I am saying only that a set of social institutions that stresses individual responsibility, that treats the individual ... as responsible for and to himself, will lead to a higher and more desirable moral climate than a set of institutions that stresses the lack of responsibility of the individual for what happens to him and relieves him of blame or credit for what he does to his fellowmen." - Milton Friedman, 1912-2006
