....that they don't do what we want. It's that they're such lousy politicians and lose on policy no matter how much money we give them. Grimes won't say Obama's name. No democrat except Bill Clinton and Elizabeth Warren can even explain Obamacare.

They should be winning on the merits of the case but they are so weak at making the case. They should be talking like populists and instead they talk like old style republicans. They should be wining on the existence of Obamacare alone and instead they run and hide from it. That's incompetent behavior for a politician.

Rove knows you always energize the base but the Democratic leaders seem to hate the base as interfering with their right drifting tendencies.

Still, I sent money to select candidates. Hard to trust the DSCC.
