(22,271 posts)CA-21 is in play with the bluest Blue Dog Democrat that can come out of the bowels of the DNC but it's a chance to take a seat from the Republicans so I'll work for her campaign even though, at the moment, her "platform" consists of:
1) I'm not a Republican
2) Give me money
Not a lot to get inspired about.
As for Obama, he has NO chance to change anything because he's shown nothing but weakness with the Republicans (his incessant willingness to compromise BEFORE he even gets to the table) and he has NO credibility with those of us who expect a Democrat to hold Democratic values. That ship has already sailed. So, seeing as how I can't do anything about him and seeing as how he represents almost none of my own values, I'll put my efforts into supporting a mediocre, Blue Dog candidate that has a chance of taking a seat away from the Republicans. If she gets elected, the next election (2016) will be about finding a REAL Democrat to replace her.
