Actually, she was involved in a split among the Blue Dogs (with Abigail Spanberger and Ed Case) over a "rebranding." Apparently the name Blue Dog had acquired a negative connotation, even among other "moderates." They didn't abandon their right wing (a.k.a., moderate) position, being lackeys to the oligarchs and sabotaging progressive proposals. They just wanted to change the name. The story was in Politico, who love the Blue Dogs, here:

If you live in NJ, BEHOLD, your Democratic Party candidate for Governor. Aren't you excited about the upcoming election?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
