To the Left, “mainstream” is just a code word for “sympathetic to leftist causes”.

Pray for the repubs to grow spines in the meantime. There are continuous battles ahead with the LIBs.

I don't recall the Republicans making a big deal out of Sotomayor and Kagan being "out-of-the-mainstream" communists; seems most Republicans publicly stated that a president (in that case Obama) should be accorded his choice.

You never get that attitude out of the 'rats.
