OK, I got my flame resistant suit on, BUT...
is a Clinton win a validation for the DLC and the Terry McAulliffe strategy?

I'm not trying to stir the shit but these are the people who rejected The Dean WINNING Strategy.

would this validate their ideal of compromise with karl rove and invalidate The 50 State Strategy?

3. Not unless it's a blowout
And it doesn't appear to be shaping up that way.

4. I meant even right now
I mean, shes showing some grit and I'm digging that but I'm worried in the general she'll collapse and go into "serial compromise" mode that mcaulliffe and the DLC believe is more important than standing up for democrats.

I hope she doesn't.

6. HRC victory = victory for triangulators
But progressives (or whatever 'liberals' are called now) have stood our ground. She was supposed to be coronated already:shrug:

7. Yes, as in the end justifying the means.
I wouldn't use the word "validation," though. It would just demonstrate for the fifty-millionth time that money talks--you realize that it's money they're all compromising with, right?
