"MoveOn has been a cancer within the Democratic Party for years now, and not one leading Dem has had the guts to recommend surgery. Indeed, Democrats are terrified of the group's much-exaggerated power- but, then, it's always been the illusion of power, the bravado, that put totalitarian minorities over the top." - Ralph Peters
"How do go from an also-ran to a contender? Follow the [Mike] Huckabee model. How do you go from a contender back to an also-ran?
