65. We should not be tearing down anyone in the party because there just aren't that many any more

who are willing or able to not have a day job for three years of campaigning, get their wife/husband to come along and be politically correct as well and do press interviews, uproot their family indefinitely, financially support all of this until the donor checks start coming in, wait until 2014 to start, commit to raising a billion dollars, satisfying a picky party, then convince 50 million people to vote to elect him/her president, and think that is possible without some corporate help.

And we wonder why Progressives aren't showing up? Especially when supporting the President is even considered a viable and debatable question. Wonder why Elizabeth Warren may not be chomping at the bit to take a 3-year break from being a Senator while successfully taking the terrified Fat Cats to task? Check out the threads on the evils of corporate donations, just for starters. She's an economist. She understands the fundamentals and the realities. So do any other potential candidates.

There is no Financial Fairy. From whom will these funds emerge, when and how?
