How much do you come out ahead?

That's about how much bipartisanship and half-measures are going to help Democrats in November.

1. Hedging your bets... & corporations do it every election cycle
of course they usually put MORE down on their "favorite" side, but when their favorite loses, they can still go to the less-favored one & say.."Hey..I donated to YOU too...C'mon baby, give it up.."

and by accepting "dirty money", every pol is tainted.... but winning is everything, so they soon forget ..
