L Grace,
I like the idea of thinking of our Representatives and Senators as either "for us," or "for the corporations," so that makes both Howard Dean and Kuccinich on the "for us" team and with our help they will be able to do anything.
Those categories make a ton of sense in what has become a very-confusing set of loyalites that we are seeing in our leaders.
I am suspicious when things get too simple, but "for us" or "for the corporations" categories will help us line up with the right people.
Is President Obama trying to straddle both worlds? And why?
(But Rush Limbaugh is in his very own category))

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
L Grace - "I have appreciated Kuccinich through a couple of his runs for president but which of his legislation has he gotten passed into law?"
Ben - "There are US laws on the books that supposedly prevent states from adopting a single payer system of their own."
Kucinich recently proposed a bill that would EXCLUDE states that want to adopt their own single-payer health-care system from the laws to which Ben refers. It's not law YET, but it HAS passed thru committee.
