13. There's a difference between holding their feet to the fire and undermining their campaigns.

I get that and act accordingly.

Importantly, here in Wisconsin DINO's have almost no chance of winning. When we run a progressive like Tammy Baldwin or Russ Feingold (Teabagger's big year of 2010 aside) we win. When we run Tom Barrett, we lose. And we're running a DINO again, one who supports charter schools, has voted against unions and outsourced jobs to China when she was head of Trek Bicycle. Asked on the spot if she would overturn Act 10, which effectively broke the public unions here, she said "no".

Guess how excited Russ Feingold's supporters are about her.

That said, outside of "safe havens" like DU, I support her and bite my tongue about the issues I mention above.
