Atrios makes a point: In his own subtle way, running against the party – at least to the extent that it’s part and parcel with the Village in general – has long been Obama’s message. But he’s also long been good at blurring just what that meant, wink wink nudge nudge suggesting he was running to its left even as he used rhetoric which suggested he was running as David Broder’s love child.

Kucinich says: “I hope Iowans will caucus for me as their first choice this Thursday, because of my singular positions on the war, on health care, and trade.
