Reply #47: right, I was mixing it up...

Agreed, agreed. What I meant:

Not the media but commentators in the mode of the DLC (not directly the DLC since she's a member far as I know) would if she lost automatically blame her for being too far to the left (as they've done with everyone who lost since Mondale).

And many of the same commentators, including here on DU, would simultaneously blame the Left for not supporting her. In fact, that began months ago - it's frickin' 2007 and we're already having all these threads that already assume this and preemptively cry betrayal: "Left/Nader/Kucinich/Gore Supporters Are Electing Giuliani"

- oops, sort of like the OP. There you go.
