64. The answer is simple:
Get back to traditional Democratic Party principles where the populace isn't the ones who have to make ALL the sacrifices. You'll get our base back, you'll maintain the Center and gain new independents.

And I'm not 100% behind ANY politician and that includes my own Barbara Boxer who I love but don't always agree with. You make my point -- blindly following a politician just because he/she has the correct letter next to his/her name is NOT democracy. Democracy means, or is SUPPOSED to mean that politicians are held accountable by the electorate, regardless of party affiliation. Blind adherence to a party bought and paid for by the elite is the antithesis of democracy.
