I really don't see how "progressive" sounds any cooler than "liberal".

I find the term liberal more positive, personally. Sadly, Republicans have won the battle over what the terms liberal and conservative suggest.

I actually agree.
Liberal sounds like something that is anti-elite, progressive sounds very pro-elite.
