Democrats in fighting form

Sen. Clinton describes her approach to life in a Glamour blog:

Like so many women I know, it took me a while to find my voice—and I was thinking recently about how I found it. As a young woman at Wellesley in the late 1960s, we were passionate and fighting for what we believed in.

Gov. Dean is also a fighter:

Dean’s own conversion to Congregationalism was a more mundane political affair. He’d been christened as a Catholic and was raised Episcopalian. But he converted to the local Vermont religion as a consequence of his battle to make over the shoreline. “I had a big fight with a local Episcopal church about 25 years ago over the bike path,” he told This Week with George Stephanopoulos in September.

A "big fight" over a bike path? The inner-life of a Democrat seems to require some "passionate" "fighting."
