-Well, a party has a "leadership" which sometimes responds to its
-membership (sometimes not) so I don't think it's that off the mark.

And they did this week in dumping Gephardt and supporting an anti-war Dem,
Pelosi, as head of the House Democrats.

Look at Pelosi's politics-- pro fair trade, pro-gay rights, pro-choice,
pro-labor, antiwar.

Does anyone think that some imagined "third party" would have politics
better than hers if it got anywhere near real power?
