This is the same Judis who stumped for contra funding in the 1980s. I
don't doubt that more and more people will flock to the Democrats as the

Republicans get worse and worse. What is open to question is whether
this will address the fundamental problems of American society as the
Democrats keep shifting to the right. Teixeira works for The Century
Foundation, which is a kind of centrist stronghold with people like the
wretched Arthur Schlesinger Jr. on the board.

judas is more appropriate, what long, and unfortunately, not so strange
trip it's been since heady days of _socialist revolution_  in late
60s(renamed _socialist review_ a few years later when the adrenaline
rush had worn off) to _in these times_
to _new republic_ (with a rather adoring bio of william buckley thrown
into mix)...

as for teixeira (who was with brookings at one time if memory serves), i
don't recall him ever getting anything correct in the past...   michael
