8. The only three names I recognized there were:
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 03:26 PM by jackbourassa
Clinton, Kerry and Lieberman.

Kerry has been pulling away...

19 members are DLC...so what...it doesn't change what I wrote. Are you saying that these members would not be elected if they weren't DLC? Pure nonesense. They're nobodies.

The organization itself IS IRRELEVANT.

They have only 20 reps in the US House (out of 200 Dems), the fourth largest group (out of five), they may be fifth now.

Of the 8 candidates we are running for the Senate...none are DLC.

Of 23 governors...5 are DLC.

How about mayors? Very few I am guessing is DLC.

So if we win the majority in the Senate, we'll have what? 18 out of 50-51 members?

Big woop. And that's their strongest suit. This Washington based organization that commands support from less than one-fourth of our elected officials. Worse still, they are reviled by the base.

Yet they think they can dictate our policies and are shocked and angered when no one listens.

What do you call that? Irrelevance.

Like I wrote originally, the only thing keeping them around now is the prospect of another Clinton candidacy. If she goes down...they go down.

P.S. All those Senators are idiots.
