To be honest, I think there is a bit of a re-alignment coming - the current coalitions that make up the two major parties are beginning to fray - the one that makes up the Dems much faster.

And the paleocons manage to sound even more to the left, economically, than the Democrats do.

Maybe the Dems just think that being "liberal" means that they can't be too overtly Marxist.

But it's interesting that Buchanan had absolutely no problem jumping into bed (for a while) with Lenora Fulani, a hard-core Marxist ideologue.

And Lyndon LaRouche is a registered Democrat.

Democrat 2004 ticket: Buchanan/LaRouche!
