[Campaigns-l] Progressive Thought

[Chad Lupkes]

Something this wiki is going to be able to do is define our terms for the
ongoing discussion.  And the people who show up and make the edits will do
the defining instead of paid political operatives looking to spin things one
direction or the other.

If Democrats have a pre-911 view of the world, Republicans have a pre-July

members into public policy. - Russel Wallace, Democracy for Wisconsin

Blah, blah, blah!!!  What do we do about it!!

Anyone want a roll-top desk?
