1. Some elected Dems are paid by the same corporate sponsors
2. Some Dem voters toe the line

The end result is Repukes can play the "both sides" game and the casual observers perceives the Dems as being weak. So we have a lose/lose situation.

Time to win, we can win as Dems or we need to peal off and win. Dems have a chance, but the window is rapidly closing.

To add, corporate media will be against us, including MSNBC, so we need to be prepared to take it too them forcefully. And take a page from the repuke playbook, never apologize. In our case we refuse to apologize for being correct.
