Al is in a dance with HC. He will not utter the "C" word until HC does. HC is trying to deflect the dems to not focus on 2008 and to focus on 2006 'like me' (HC). This while lining up huge coffers and allies like R. Murdock and others. Her hopes are to emerge from the other side of Nov. with an overwhelming commanding lead that no one could over come.

For this reason I'm urging to throw water on all the "pushes" to not focus on anything other than 2006. We can and I trust will, be able to focus on more then one item at a time. Besides if HC actually believed her 2006, only, focus, she wouldn't be running around with all the behind the curtain deals she's been doing. When the magician is trying to do something with the right hand she waves the left hand out in the open for all to easily see. If we are smart and don't fall for the tactics, 2006 will be the year the progressives see fruit in a long 35 year struggle to get our agenda on the table. The people will like what we have to offer once WE can write the platform. Stay the course.. Free the people..
