True Progressives

E.J. Dionne has another great column today, this one dealing with Obama and Clinton's channeling of Paul Wellstone in their campaign rhetoric. America lost a great progressive voice in 2002 with the death of Senator Wellstone. I've blogged about this before, but the point bears repeating, it is very encouraging that both Obama and Clinton are talking like progressives in this election. Neither candidate has attempted to outflank the other to the right. One can only hope that this will continue in the general.
