ENOUGH of the NONSENSE about the DNC not helping in WI. They ARE. [View all]

People here are echoing corporate media memes about the DNC not helping in WI. THAT is the real problem, not some manufactured lack of DNC commitment to WI. It is complete and utter NONSENSE. They've given $1.4 million in money and/or organizational help with national fundraising appeals and Wasserman-Schultz coming soon for more fundraising. The DCCC is in. The DGA is in. Other national groups like Bold Progressives and MoveOn are in. Wasserman said this is a very important election with strong national implications. However, when ASKED if a Dem loss would mean Obama would lose nationally, she simply replied that such recalls are essentially STATE level elections with STATE level dynamics, and, NO, he would still win nationally including in WI. So let's stop the nonsense, stop the hyperbole, listen to the FACTS, and just get on with doing everything we can to win in ALL places, including this June 5th in WI.

Dem Party Chairman in WI Mike Tate says there is no lack of DNC commitment and THANKS them for their help. Also, just for the record, I myself just donated AGAIN to the Barrett campaign from Maine and have also given to the WI Dems several time. So people here should stop complaining about the DNC based on corporate media crap out of the AP and the Washington Post and start DONATING to the cause THEMSELVES. You can even make calls from ANY state, and I have done that too.
