"It's much more likely we will advance a progressive, forward-looking agenda with a progressive, forward-looking leader like [Rep. Henry] Waxman than with an old bull who defends Detroit like [Rep. John] Dingell."

**Great, just what we need; a radical environMENTAList sticking it to an already teetering automobile industry.....Such is life in the 'Pelosi/Reid/Obama America.'

That said, I hope Waxman fights for the House chairmanship of the Energy and Commerce Committee, which is currently lead by Dingell......Not because I think he has a clue, but because I encourage the Democrats to fight like hell with each other. Heaven knows they have the votes to do just about anything they want (along with a lapdog Senate and Prez-in-waiting to sign their crappola), so the only chance we have of the Democrats not going completely loony Left is if they find ways to stop each other.**
