Text Box: When any group or movement loses an election or issue campaign there is always a certain amount of finger pointing and gnashing of teeth. The Obama campaign learned from decades of Democrats losing elections that with a strong infrastructure, lots of resources, a mass movement mobilization, and a clear vision, progressive campaigns can win. But as progressives who welcome an Obama Administration, we can’t rest on our laurels, because the nature of our democracy is a constant struggle over power. The Political Right in the United States has not vanished, they just lost one election. They are already planning their comeback.
Keeping the Obama Administration
on Track for Progress
Social movements pull politicians and political movements
toward them, not the other way around.
