I've kept up with the news while on vacation. Biden does nothing, IMO, to get real progressives looking at going Green to stay in the Dem tent.

It's an "insider" pick which once again undercuts Obama's "new politics" claim.
On the campaign front?
Could help in PA, not much else.

A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
As seen at Washington Babylon and other fine establishments
