Hillary is not the answer

The question is who will save the Democratic party? I was beginning to think I'm the only leftie who doesn't think Hillary is the solution to the Dems problems at the polls. Mahablog wisely articulates my vague concerns with more specificity.

We need a "different kind of Democrat," all right. What we don't need are more posturing, calculating, packaged-to-appeal-to-swing-voter Dems like Hillary. We've got way too many of those now. That's why most of the public thinks Democrats have "no core set of convictions or point of view."

Oddly the commenters seem to be largely pissed off by Maha's analysis. I guess cognitive dissonance can affect the left as well as the right.
