For the record, I love living in the state of Michigan and feel very fortunate to have two pretty solid Liberal Senators in Sen. Levin and Sen. Stabenow.
But Tom Harkin? He's right up there with Bernie Sanders as far as taking the mantle once held by that bastion of Liberalism and one of my modern political heroes, Ted Kennedy. Check out this shit (as reported by the crackerjack political journalist for The Hawkeye, Iowa's oldest newspaper): Christ, if President Obama ran on this platform the Liberal base would be delirious with joy.
Restoring unions? Check. Enacting the Buffet Rule? Check. Transaction tax on hedge fund managers? Check. Spending on infrastructure? Check. Spending on child care and education? Check and check.
Restoring the middle class? Beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Peace,
