America needs a strong turn to the Left, in order to pull the whole in the necessary direction. This is probably the only national election (the 2008 presidential contest) that can do that correction, because enough people are currently upset with the Right such that tolerance for a Left correction exists for a time.
Obviously this is connected to the War, in the main. What we really need is a Democrat candidate who is strongly in favor of Peace, and a with drawl from foreign entanglements (see Washington's Farewell Address). People are also tired of corporate excesses, so something could be brought forward that questions (lightly) the fake magic of free markets, and other similar excesses out of the world of finance that make of us economic serfs (wage slaves).
The argument that we need a Democrat that can win (using poll data as the criteria) is false. The Country wants LEADERSHIP!!!
True leadership dares, and does not lame itself by worshiping the urgings of pollsters and other so-called campaign experts. Only through this risk taking, will people see that they are being offered the required servant-leadership that can return America to its proper place in the whole of the world's peoples. We don't have to be the greatest world power (a false idol in any event). We just need to be ourselves, Americans - generous of heart and wise in the way that only a young People can be.
We are the first beginnings of a People of Peoples, and the goodness that can come out of that can barely be imagined. Does not the song of our true heart say: " ...and crown thy Good with Brotherhood, from sea to shining sea."
