That is what involvement and expanding the base hopefully will produce. I'll interpret your use of the term "Hero worship" as a general comment and not in implication that the folks in the room were pleased with Speaker Pelosi's actions with regards to FISA. They weren't. More and <i>better</i> Democrats to help the "real" Democrats, currently there, do their job better supporting us. I agree.

Grass-roots democrats should not be hero worshipers, but demand accountability and genuinely progressive social policy. I am rather disappointed with Pelosi, who for two years has run away from challenging Bush out of fear of criticism of democrats. Why should we really believe things will be different with the slightly more left version of the corporate party in power. i see no excuse for Pelosi’s FISA vote.
