"Obviously, Brown has to have an agenda both...

Now all you need to do is suggest a few potential Democratic contenders who embody that ideal. Kerry? Gore? Hillary? Howard Dean?! Having gored Joe Lieberman, the Democrats have demonstrated they don't tolerate "bipartisan patriotism" and will destroy any card carrier who evinces such an admirable trait.
