At Booman: Can Obama Create a New Coalition? Standard disclaimer: I do *not* have a candidate I'm excited about at this point, but there's some good stuff in this post. Like this...

All along the way, though, we suffered indignities at the hands of people from The New Republic, 'left-leaning' columnists at the Washington Post, New York Times, Time, Newsweek, and elsewhere. We were disparaged by Clinonistas like Begala and Carville on a constant basis. The argument was consistent. The Netroots was too stridenty anti-war and populist and would do real damage to the Democrats if allowed to have too much influence. For this reason, our huge successes in November were quickly spun as the doing of Rahm Emanuel and Chuck Schumer alone. They chose to focus on the few social conservatives that were elected in Indiana or North Carolina, rather than our sweep of New Hampshire, new progressive Senators Sherrod Brown and Bernie Sanders, the upset victories of Jerry McNerney and professor Dave Loeback, etc.

"Governor Dean Blasts Coulter’s Slur, Calls on GOP Presidential Candidates to Denounce It"
