Fair enough. The only mistake then was to forget to make all his friends link to it so it would show up at the top of google. (Or buy "tasini")

That would be good for everyone, even the most conventional Dems, because Hillary can never be president (because she's not from the South. Until the Dems change the political geography of the country, it's no accident their only presidents have been Southerners).
But what would be even better was if a strong Tasini showing drove her and other Democratic notables to the left. Not only would that be a good result, but it would give us a replicable model of how to do it again. It would offer a medium term answer to what is to be done with that party.
