rumblings of an opposition party?

Diarists on Daily Kos and Atrios have floated the idea that Dems need to start acting like an opposition party, instead of pulling a Joe Lieberman and becoming more "moderate." What the hell does that mean anyway? I really don't get how pandering to the radical fundamentalists makes someone more moderate.

Anyway, it looks like House Dems may actually be implementing an opposition strategy. The Regular has a quick summary of how Dems are blocking the quick removal of the odious income tax spying clause to point out that Repugs shouldn't be allowed to railroad bills through Congress without adequate review.

Good for them, and I hope that this is only the beginning. Next on the to-do list: a shadow cabinet.
