... but I am a bit confused by the "REAL Democrats" label.

REAL Democrats? Who are the not-real (or is it unreal?) Democrats? How do we distinguish between the two?

Is there an "official spokesperson" who can tell us who is REAL and who is not? If so, on what basis do they decide which is which, and who/what authority gave them that decision-making power?

Is there a Grand Poobah-type of office someone has been appointed and/or elected to that I don't know about - ya know, some Decider-Guy who speaks on behalf of the Party and determines, by virtue of that position, who is REAL and who is not?

Apparently I am not on the mailing list, and have not received the talking points memo.
