Next Verse, Same as the First...
Hi everyone. I'm Dylan, and I'm a fan of Senator Barbara Boxer.
First of all, I want to thank Mad Kane for letting me contribute, and to explain why I wanted to get involved. I wrote today about my growing dissatisfaction with the toothless manner by which our party continues to go about its business, without any regard about how we can use the issues to shape the debate. Instead, we allow the Republicans to come to us with their issues and their ideology while we stand back, stomp our feet and cross our arms and we bask in our intellectual superiority, at the cost of the real issues.
Over the past two years, there have been two Democrats who have thwarted these established behaviors, and done what they think are right on a regular basis: Howard Dean and Barbara Boxer.
Over the past month, Sen. Boxer has established herself as THE one person within our government who we can count on to stand-up, even if it is by herself, and speak to the issues that are important to all of us. When she has done this, SHE has shaped the debate.
I know I'm not saying anything new that hasn't already been said in the week long life of this blog. I'm just happy that such a place exists, and happy to be a part of it.

Thanks for the heart felt post. It sure is a pleasure to hear a politician speak what is on one's heart. I hope it's contagious..'
Harry Reid, on the other hand, prefers to go the traditional Democratic route. To get one nominee, we give Bush 175.
