Politically vulnerable Democrats plan to back Obamacare repeal

39. I blame one man for the cowardly Democrats: Dr. Howard Dean.

Now, please hear me out...

Now, don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore Dr. Dean, but we are experiencing the consequences of his 50-State Strategy. Rather than pursue top quality progressive Democrats in swing states, the 50-State Strategy suggests that a Democrat is a Democrat and is better than any Republican. Of course, I agree with that, but we have to live with the consequences of that strategy. So, for instance, we were never going to get a Public Option because these Democrats in swing and conservative states were never going to vote for a Public Option, no matter how much we cried. So we blamed Obama instead when in reality, Obama has little to do with what Congress ultimately decides. He can try and persuade Democrats to go his way, but there's only so much he can do. So now, we have faux, cowardly, or Corporate-bought Democrats like Max Baucus, Bill Nelson and Joe LIEberman. But again, due to the 50-State Strategy, we are now reaping what that strategy has sown: the Claire McCaskells and the Blanche Lincolns of the world will have to do until highly qualified and attractive progressive Democrats are courted. I don't believe that there aren't any that exists in RED and middle-ground states.

At any rate, they feel that they can't be associated with Obama or anything having to do with him, which is interesting because the president seems to be doing o.k. in many of these swing states. I just wonder if they can win in those states. Look at John Tester!
