A Change Election?

In DC's mayoral election last year, relative newcomer Adrian Fenty went up against the DC Council Chair Linda Cropp. Cropp had been on the council for years and was a seasoned DC pol who had the "right" resume to be mayor. He was a green two-term city councilman. She ran on experience. He ran on change. He won.

DC is an unlikely bellwether for the US presidential race, but it is another sign the voters -- everywhere -- are hankering for something different.

There is that olive branch of hope isn't there! Just mabe the population at large can find the small voice that is something from the wilderness of sanity.

Wouldn't "something different" be Dennis Kucinich? ;-)
