Read this Pickler story and then ask yourself why so many Dems seem enamored of Jennifer Granholm.

Leave aside for the moment the fact that the center in American politics continues to move rightward and thus it's virtually meaningless to talk about moving to the all-important "center" nowadays.
Just what does she mean by that? Concede more issues to the Republicans? Put up fewer fights against their reactionary policies? Which one of our "principles" does she think we need to jettison in order to be liked by swing voters?
Sorry, but I don't see what all the hoopla is about her. And I certainly wouldn't support monkeying around with the Constitution for the express purpose of allowing her to run for president. (We've got enough status quo politicos waiting in the wings as it is.)
We desperately need change in our party, and our fearless leaders like Jennifer Granholm and Dianne Feinstein think it ain't so bad out in the wilderness.
To quote someone whose name has slipped my memory, we can do better.
