In light of last night’s taping of IRTN with Matt AND in reading all of the comments in various U.S. lefty sites, I’ve been thinking.

Perhaps Barack Obama is really who he appoints and who he invited to preach to us on Inauguration Day.

And if that happens – if the various progressive constituencies who helped put Obama in the White House become dangerously disillusioned, maybe it’s time we finally take the bull by the horns and form a viable third party.

I think we could make a genuine appeal to disaffected Democrats and say to them we are forming a party that represents real progressive ideas – a radical, if you will, departure from the corporate centrism of the Democratic Party.

I’ve got it!

We could call it The "New Democratic Party of the USA."

How’s that for orginality? NDPUSA

If Jack thinks it’s a good idea, maybe he can send us some of his brain trust down here to get it started.
