conservative and she's in trouble to retain her seat.

Is it the Neo-Libs or what we used to call the DLC? I guess I could see some of that but President Obama has not helped himself because he trashed the LEFT with Rahm Emmanuel when he was Inaugurated and he's been Wall Street/Internet Tech/Hedge Fund and Big Business Supporter since he was Elected.

He did NOT HAVE TO DO THAT. So...if he leans towards the RW Dems (DINO's) then that's been HIS CHOICE....not something that the rest of us Active Dems ever wanted him to do. AND we VOTED FOR HIM and SUPPORTED HIM....ALSO. We just didn't have "Hollywood/MIC/Pharma and the REST BIG BUCKS that he needed....so, we got marginalized.

Just my humble opinion.......from observation and involved.
