I say, right on! A Gordon Gekko character in the White House may just be what it takes to do to the Democratic Party what a black man in the White House did to the Republican Party in 2009: energize and radicalize it. So to speak to Occupy the Democratic Party.. And indeed, it is hard to imagine that Romney would be that much worse as compared to Obama. -raghu. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
