21. That isn't the issue. The issue is that Progressives want someone who is not so MIC/Corporate

friendly. Give them such a candidate, and Paul would not be 'blooming' in those states.

As always though, the Dem Leadership will waste their time personally attacking the Republican rather than focusing on why they are losing voters.

Voters don't care about the personal characteristics of candidates. The old 'distraction' trick with no focus on the issues that voters care about only alienates voters even more.

WHY is a Democrat sliding in polls should be the question.

And the answer is not hard to find.

Eg, Progressive candidates in the Mid Terms won by running on a progressive message. Third Way candidates lost.

Nose-holding is going out of style and if Dems still ignore what voters are telling them, they will continue to lose and then of course they will do what makes voters even more angry, 'BLAME THE VOTERS'
