Are his weaknesses unforgivable, or is it up to us to push him left? If so, how? The panelists are Betsy Reed, Executive Editor of The Nation; Doug Henwood, writer and editor of the left Business Observer; Jo-Ann Mort of Change Communications; Writer Ta-Nehisi Coates; and Nation columnist Gary Younge.
