The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

-- H.L. Mencken, after the 1920 Democratic Convention

North Coast Blues

Some progressive friends and I are starting a new organization to push a progressive agenda in the Democratic Party. The local Dems have been driving us nuts with their inability to take advantage of the fact that the North East Ohio area is the one Blue area of this VERY Red state.

But mostly, it's because I came up with a great name for it. The North Coast Blues. Once we change the regional agenda, maybe we'll turn it into a local music organization

Right now it's just a blog, but we may expand to include other activities - fundraising, advocacy, online articles, etc. If you're interested in writing and progressive politics, use the "Contact Me" link in the right sidebar. (Or just email or call me if you know me. C'mon - you know who you are!)

So posts having to do with Ohio and Regional politics will be over there. A feed of those posts will appear on this page. C'mon and visit!
