Hmm, well, where's it going to come from? There's certainly no organization that's about to lead it, and I don't see that much evidence of mass desire for it - though maybe the Holland Tunnel traffic downstairs is drowning out the sounds of the masses baying for single payer health insurance and publicly funded child care, so let me know if I'm missing something.
Adolph Reed has an interesting column in this month's Progressive arguing that organizing around candidates like Nader (and earlier, Jackson) is a waste, and that issue-oriented campaigns - like the Labor Party's referenda promoting single-payer health care, which won by 60-70% margins, though they were purely advisory - are the way to go. What do you think, Max? We need lots of you before you sign off.
