<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Was quite amazing that the first ever socialist
senator in US history was elected last night and nobody is talking about it even
on LBO. Now I am not saying that Sanders' victory signals the death knell
of capitalism or even a more left friendly US. But the fact he won should
at least merit some mention. And you would think that some discussion of
how he managed it would seem to be appropriate given all the hand wringing that
is done on this list about the failure of the left. How did Sanders do it?
Are there any lessons for would be electoral leftists from Saunders
success?</FONT></DIV>
