This new guy Hoffman is breathtakingly stupid, and has delusions of adequacy, IMO. The left canNOT come up with ONE new or original idea, they HAVE to "harken" back (intentional misspelling) to old issues, old wars, because they don't have anything new to say.
Geez, if I were a Dem (shudder) and my party's standard-bearers were sKerry, Gore, Harken, Wilson, "Swimmer" Kennedy, Sharpton, Dean, Wesley "Unblinky" Clark, and Kucinich, I'd be almost suicidal now too. What they lack in intelligence, however, they make up in secular zeal.
