Reply #4: Well, maybe you haven't seen the talk about VA.

Well, I said they were picking the candidates. Fact. True. Schumer and Reid picked Casey, Schumer said so. He said we did not have the luxury of worrying about issues...in this case Casey is anti-choice and anti-morning after pill.

Another fact, several candidates who got pretty good percentages last year have been "urged" to drop out, Morrison, Cegelis, Hackett are 3 who come to mind quickly.

Yes, they do spin wins as wins for centrism. Visit the DLC website and see the connections they make.

Of course some Democrats don't want to alienate progressives. In fact the New Democrats (DLC) call themselves progressives. But in the next breath they are calling us "activists" and calling themselves "centrists."

If they want to run their own candidate, whom they handpick, they should at least acknowledge the other. In PA Chuck has had to fight just to get his name mentioned at all by the DSCC.

I think they are picking "centrists", a meaningless word, really....not because they can win. They are pickng them, asking others to leave the race....and then claiming victory with a "centrist."

In other words, they are choosing who we will vote for and saying the primaries are too expensive. Trust us, they say.
