It seems the anti-nuclear propaganda is not reaching the people at large. Then why does it continue? Wholly-owned issueless candidates--like Andrew Spano-- have become, unfortunately, overly beholden to a few constituents, who have an organized mailing list that has become essential to their political survival. (Please note that I did not use the word shill...). Congressman Hall, is very wisely trying to break that apron string-- the jury is still out on whether he will be able to. Hillary Clinton is taking a higher road, trying to guide her camp to more inclusive ground. Mssrs. Spitzer & Cuomo are getting blooded by the Albany meat grinder, and probably would tag gladly along with the 47% at this point. It seems it is going to take some new kind of champion, if the anti-nuke true-believers could not win with names like Kennedy, Cuomo & Spitzer hawking their position. Maybe if Eleanor Roosevelt returned, on the arm of old Pete Seeger! Now there's a vision for you!

Now there’s a vision for you!
