The biggest problem amongst the left right now is that it still has no central mouthpiece. Even though the right has a chimpanzee doing its bully pulpit work, that monkey is still on television every night hammering home the platform of the Republicans. The Democrats don't have that centralized (although that's probably a bad word to use since Bush is hardly a centrist) voice. Once there's actually a Democratic candidate for President (although they tend to articulate the center and not the left), hopefully that will be better.

The other problem is those on the liberal and socialist wing are still debating amongst themselves who even the candidate of the left of the party will be. I've heard more debate of Dean v. Kucinich (still spelling his name horribly wrong) than knocking the messed up policies of George Bush.
