General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: The Democratic Party is walking on thin ice.... [View all]Dems that dismissed the unlikely voters and thought the swing voters were the key to the election. The unlikely voters didn't just beat down the Repukes but we beat the supporters of the repukes too. As I see it, we beat Big business too. Ed Rendell hasn't got the message too. It is an insult to call us the fringe luny Left. The Dems that want to dismiss us. I also consider Paul Begala and Dee Dee Myers in this group. They need to understand Demographics too. Do not make the miscalculations, we can't do it again in 2014. I think a funny thing happened in this election. A sleeping giant suddenly realized the power they have at the voting booth. It is no longer business as usual. I also think the Unions gained a lot of power in this election also. While the GOP is having their little conferences, I think they realize this also. It is up to these queezy Democrats to realize this too. I'll give you an example that I've given before.
Mike McIntyre is a Blue Dog Democrat out of North Carolina. The only reason he hasn't been replaced is because that is the Dems only option. McIntyre maybe a Blue Dog but most of his constituents are minorities. He is in a close election because many in his constituency are also disappointed with him selling them out. If there was a better and more liberal Democrat went up against him, he would lose. The Dems that have lost seats the most are Blue Dogs. THe Dems that loss the most in 2010 are Blue Dogs.
