Re the latter -- I don't have your background with USAction and Citizens Action; a second post of yours that that post links to refers to those organizations being dismissive of "issue-heads". I would simply say that in this case the arguable-counterproof-by-counterexample is in the pudding: rather than go electoral, or 100% electoral, these organizations (including even MoveOn) are supporting what "Obama-Onlys" would say is a diversion of resources. As you say, it's also encouraging that the petition calls for a faster withdrawal than Obama does. [NOTE: I'll cross-comment this to your post, and add a couple of items that don't pertain to the Million Doors topic here per se (health care, impeachment). Readers here are strongly encouraged to head over to Nell's and have a look at her post and any comment conversations that develop!] [UPDATE: Nell has now cross posted her "prepare to dare" post to <a href="http://www.tinyrevolution.com/mt/archives/002534.html" rel="nofollow">"A Tiny Revolution" </a>where there are already 31 comments.] PS: no big deal, but your link to my post is wrong, it should be to http://newsrackblog.com/2008/09/06/million-doors-for-peace/ . Very interesting post (”Prepare to dare or prepare to despair“) and linked post (”The curse of self-appointed liberal “leadership”“), via the “but only if it doesn’t cost Democrats” link near the top.
