This country has been dragged so far to the right it will take a lot of work to get back to the center. Half of the country think any Democrat is either "socialist" or a "communist", not knowing what either term means. Thousands of hours and acres of print of corporate media and far right radio have transformed this country into a parody of itself. Any Democratic candidate must carefully deal with the ignorance and irrationality of the voting public who have a completely unrealistic view of the outside world. If George Soros is supposed to be the master of "left wing" propaganda, why doesn't he own a network like Murdoch?
Another of the Bush/Cheney sociopaths like Perle, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Addington, to whom the lives of others mean nothing, but their own means everything.
