		<description>[...] It doesn&#8217;t surprise me that Mrs. Clinton would attack Mr. Obama for being too liberal.  I remember in one of the earlier debates when asked if she considered herself liberal she hemmed and hawed for about twenty or so seconds before describing herself instead as a liberal.  As anyone should know, liberals and progressives are about the same, except that &#8220;progressive&#8221; polls better.

		<description>Makers Mark, Wild Turkey and Jim Beam are the best known Kentucky bourbons. At least that is what someone else told me, I drink tea. LOL</description>

		<description>Southern Comfort, son, Southern Comfort in those parts I believe.  Shit, I&#039;ll personally go down there and bribe them from my own account.  Kentucky going blue... that&#039;d be enough to make Karl Rove paint his knickers Hershey brown.</description>

		<description>As for the happy map, that is indeed happy.  I am happy to see Virginia in play (and if it does become battleground like I believe so, you know I&#039;m gonna have me a good ol&#039; time down here), I&#039;m skeptical about Kentucky.</description>

		<description>Okay, except, here&#039;s the thing.  I read Chris&#039; assessment, and there&#039;s a glaring omission there.

How many people understand that progressive is just the new dress all the liberals are wearing?  Progressive is comparably new to the political lexicon, and considering the velocity at which information is dissembled from the politically involved to the average person, it is reasonable to assume that without much definition (or with only Hillary Clinton&#039;s slicked up definitions), that people who read the word aren&#039;t fully aware of it&#039;s meaning.

If you listen carefully to Hillary&#039;s debate definition, she actually says it right there; Liberal used to mean one thing, now it&#039;s got a bad rap, so I call myself progressive.  Don&#039;t get me wrong, I understand the necessity of the new label, I just want to know where the secret back room is that I can go to so we can all kinda smoke cigars and say, &quot;Holy crap, I can&#039;t believe that worked!&quot;</description>
