The effort to taint liberals/progressives

The people who support President Obama and the DU members who are considering supporting Hillary Clinton are Democrats and liberals. I think that projection explains some of these threads.

Look, I am going to focus on 2014 for now. Texas has a very important race for governor in 2014 that could affect the 2016 race. I admit that I really want to turn my state blue and I can not help but notice the polling that indicate that Hillary Clinton could be successful in that effort. Two of the groups being targeted by Wendy Davis are single white females and Hispanic voters which are two groups who supported Hillary Clinton in 2008 (I was in the middle of credential fights in 2008 and know the backgrounds of each group supporting the various candidates).

I am a liberal and a Democrat even though i want to focus on 2014 and I will remain a liberal and a Democrat even if I decide that Hillary Clinton is the best choice for 2016. I am tired of living in a red state and the only way to change things will be to first work like crazy for Senator Wendy Davis and then select the best candidate for the 2016 race in part on who has the best chance of making my vote count in the electoral college.

If the facts change between now and 2016, I will look at other candidates. In the meantime, none of these threads attacking Hillary Clinton or President Obama are going to change my mind as to my priorities and what needs to be done.
