Markos quote

Submitted June 25, 2008 - 8:10 pm by Tom W. (not verified)

From Markos last night, summing up some of the feeling out there, I think:

“I don’t want to hear him talk about leadership. I don’t want to hear him talk about defending the Constitution. I want to see him do it,” he said. “If he does, it will increase the intensity and level of support he gets from base Democrats. If he doesn’t, we may worry he is just another one of these spineless Democrats who are more afraid of controversy in doing the right thing than they are in actually doing the right thing.”

But he also said, let's face it - McCain vs. Obama is a no-brainer. I think the discussion about Obama the radical vs. Obama the regular Dem is a fascinating one, and worth having.

BTW, congrats on the site - it's working well, like the new comments a lot - and on the convention thing. I covered the '92 confab, once is enough for me (though I did get to meet Aretha Franklin).
