Susan Estrich is desperately trying to save the Democrat Party, and it appears she'll have to do it single-handedly. She's risking the ire of her fellow Democrats by being honest. She knows its gone over the edge and is wallowing in slime and hypocracy, and she's got to believe that if they stay there it will be the end of her party.
I don't agree with her issues, but I respect her courage. It wouldn't surprise me if she finds herself ostrasized by her "colleagues" as the next presidential election gets closer.
