It will show the Democratic Party once and for all they can't do business with Corporate Interests. Let the Republican Party be the Corporate party and the policies of the Democratic Party can be more people oriented.

2. Wishful thinking
but there's always a chance the democrats will have a "screw you "attitude against the corporations who tried to oust them.

One can hope, I guess.

3. Probably just the opposite
Now they'll think they have to appease them twice as much to stay on their good side.

Thats why these groups spend so much, it doesnt matter if their candidates win, they're promoting a fear in politicians the next time they run.

4. I agree
This is showing Democrats that they have to play ball if they want campaign contributions.

5. Or, Perhaps It Shows That The Chambers Is Opposing Democratic Party Policies?
Maybe the divide and conquer meme that there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats is not accurate?

6. "show Democrats" and "once and for all" do not belong in the same sentence.
In fact they don't belong in any sentence. Democratic politicians can't be shown anything. They think they already know everything, and especially that they know better than "the great unwashed masses" who make up< the base. And even if the Democrats DID learn something this year, it certainly wouldn't be "once and for all". It would be for a couple weeks at most.[br />
