65. Why are you defending Cotham?

I live in NC and I can tell you that every Democrat here is furious with her. It's interesting that you and another DUer I've never noticed before are defending her like crazy in this thread.

In contrast, I've read blm's posts for years. They have a lot of credibility on DU as a Mecklenburg County insider.

Your posts are having the opposite effect of your stated intention.
