You can find the cowardly liberals Here
this is a story that J. referenced in her comment on Democrats see Clinton as strongest, most experienced leader.
I wonder if these are the same Democratic leaders that keep giving in to President Bush. They need to be replaced anyway.

WASHINGTON: Looking past the presidential nomination fight, Democratic leaders quietly fret that Hillary Rodham Clinton at the top of their 2008 ticket could hurt candidates at the bottom.

They say the former first lady may be too polarising for much of the country. She could jeopardise the party’s standing with independent voters and give Republicans who otherwise might stay home on Election Day a reason to vote, they worry.

In more than 40 interviews, Democratic candidates, consultants and party chairs from every region pointed to internal polls that give Clinton strikingly high unfavourable ratings in places with key congressional and state races.

“I’m not sure it would be fatal in Indiana, but she would be a drag” on many candidates, said Democratic state Reprenstative Dave Crooks.

Unlike Crooks, most Democratic leaders agreed to talk frankly about Clinton’s political coattails only if they remained anonymous, fearing reprisals from the New York senator’s campaign. They all expressed admiration for Clinton, and some said they would publicly support her fierce fight for the nomination - despite privately held fears. The chairman of a Midwest state party called Clinton a nightmare for congressional and state legislative candidates.
