Ari Berman has a
fantastic article in the new issue of
The Nation on the subject of the Democracy Alliance -- the newish coalition of rich liberals that's been counted on to fund the creation of a new progressive infrastructure to save America, etc. To make a long story short, there are some problems here . . . hopefully problems that will be resolved (it's not super-unusual for something to get off to a rocky start), but one fears they may not be.
