Might I recommend a brief respite from the all-week 24/7 POPE IS DEAD news coverage to point out yet another excellent op-ed piece in the New York Times: A Party Inverted, by none other than former Democratic presidential primaries candidate Bill Bradley. Wake up, Democrats. PS: I love how this piece was introduced over at Democracy Arsenal, a recent addition to my must-read list … Michael Signer links to the Bradley op-ed saying “The DNC and our party elders (Bill Clinton?) need to negotiate with the powerful Democratic interest groups to ignore their navels for a moment and get on board with a democratization vision, in broad-brush outline, because the stakes are just too high to do otherwise.” (my emphasis added)

Wow. Tough love from Bradley, but exactly what democrats, liberals, progressives, etc need to hear. Its takes a plan, people, a plan and commitment to the plan, not to one person.
And thanks for the heads up to Democracy Arsenal.
