Yeah the 60 is worthless (4.00 / 1)

with Dems like Nelson...

can you think of anyone else in the Senate you would consider a Progressive besides Sanders, Feingold and Kerry. Interesting Sanders calls him self a Democratic Socialist.. but I see no reason not to call him a Progressive Democrat.

have you heard of the progressive block (0.00 / 0)

The Progressive Block

Democrats that will vote against legislation unless demands met. So it's adding strength to the Kucinich's or the others that go lone wolf when a bill is watered down.

The alternative to the Blue Dogs.
