One More Step To The Left...

...and Howard Dean is going to take the Democratic Party right off the cliff. He has endorsed Bernie Sanders for the Senate seat being vacated by Jim Jeffords in the next election. "Who is Bernie Sanders?" you ask. The current congressman from Vermont and a socialist.

Here is the reading material Bernie recommends you seek to learn more about him, from his own congressional web site. I've added the empahsis.
More information about Congressman Sanders can be obtained from his political autobiography, Outsider in the House by Bernie Sanders and Huck Gutman, Verso Press, 1997. Other books that describe his political career as Mayor of Burlington, Vermont and candidate for Congress are: People's Republic: Vermont and the Sanders Revolution by Greg Guma, 1989; Challenging the Boundaries of Reform: Socialism in Burlington by W.J. Conroy, 1990; Socialist Mayor: Bernard Sanders in Burlington, Vermont by Steven Soifer, 1991; Making History in Vermont: The Election of a Socialist to Congress by Steven Rosenfeld, 1992.
Given the results of the last election, does this not strike you as a move in precisely the wrong direction? Is there no one with any sense left in the Democratic Party?
