#1 Now this is very interesting. A Scoop Jackson Democrat? If he wins by a significant margin, that will encourage others of similar mind to take back their party. How proud I would be if Rantburg's own liberalhawk were to run -- he would bring a strain of historical knowledge and intellectual rigour such as hasn't been seen in his party for the better part of a generation!

#2 I'd vote for LiberalHawk in a second if he were in my district. I'd even throw a ten-spot into the plate :-)

#3 Sounds like he's runnig for a trunk safe seat. I hope his positions don't jeopardize his academic position if he doesn't win.

#4 The only problem I have with guys like LH and Carney winning is that by increasing the percentage of Reps that are Democrats, they increase the power of the socialists and partisans like Kennedy and Pelosi and even Dean.

Maybe they should be true independents and align with whichever party is right on the particular issue.

#5 I can't imagine our liberalhawk ever voting straight party line without having put plenty of thought into it. I may not always agree with him (I do not like Hillary Clinton, f'r instance), but his opinions are always reasoned.
