Whatever that means gratuitous Dec 2011 #1

It does mean something. phleshdef Dec 2011 #2

It means liberal Democrats have seen the Republican field. n/t Scuba Dec 2011 #3

At what date in the past had they not yet seen the Republican field? LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #6

That doesn't even attempt to answer the question. nt Romulox Dec 2011 #16

His conservative and moderate Democratic approval ratings are less than 77%. LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #25
