The door is wide open for an enlightened, populist Democrat to lead the way to a new era of unsurpassed national prosperity.
The door was nailed shut long ago thanks to private (rather than public) campaign finance which insures the candidate with the most $$'s wins. Marcy Kaptur, Dennis Kucinich, Alan Grayson, to name a few Dems quite capable of setting the country on a sustainable path toward prosperity, have a snowball's chance in hell of attaining the presidency.
And WTF is a "teaparty democrat" anyway? That animal went extinct some time ago.
