Post-Elections: Elizabeth Holtzman and Robert Jensen on Guerrilla Radio

Yesterday on Guerrilla Radio we interviewed both Elizabeth Holtzman and Robert Jensen on a post-election situation which saw Democrats take control of Congress, defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld's resignation, and conservative back-tracking on the war in Iraq. Holtzman, a former Congresswoman, argued that this election showed that the electoral system is still very much democratic and puts ample pressure on politicians with failed policies. She thinks it entirely possible that President Bush could be impeached with this new Congress. Jensen took a much different stance about the elections, using the analogy of a train simply changing conductors while maintaining the same overall direction. He urged the formation of grassroots social movements independent of the Democrats as the only real hope to radically alter America's direction.
