should be hung around their necks in the upcoming re-election bid. If they won't stand with the people they claim to represent, then their constituents should return the favor and not stand with them. Period.

The DCCC needs to find a candidate who is actually a Democrat and use this vote to take out those corporate asswipes. They shouldn't be rewarded with another term for turning their backs on the most vulnerable in their district.
