Steve, I think again you missed my point. I understand political compromise. What I am suggesting is that people in this country are looking for leaders that will accomplish things. Yes a certain amount of compromise and negotiation are necessary for that to happen.
What I am trying to say is that I haven't seen any Democratic candidate that inspires the public to think in grand terms as to what might be accomplished and that admitting early on in any negotiation that you are willing to accept a less than favourable outcome for your side is negotiating from weakness.
Personally, I'd also like to see a Democratic Party that would do more than pay lip service every four years to the needs of the poor and the working class. Speaking of compromise how about a coalition of forward thinking businessmen, workers, the poor, intellectuals,teachers, unions and the middle class as a coalition?
