[lbo-talk] Greider

[Max B. Sawicky]

The "Democratic Party" is controlled by the Clintons and their big-donor pals,
with old-line liberals as a kind of loyal opposition (Teddy K et al.).  It looks
increasingly like Dean is not part of the club; one reason is that his fund-
raising base is independent.

Aside from whatever Dean has said about policy, to me this is interesting.

In a different way this is true for Gephardt as well, though his base -- industrial
unions -- is not a new political force, in and of itself.

Of course I think well of Greider and his judgement, so I too find this column
to be persuasive.

  This is my third and last post today.  For those who, like me, are still on the fence about Dean, William Greider's little jot in the new Nation is pretty convincing stuff.
