Get a Clue

I had to laugh when I read this:

According to Barrons, there "has been a mutiny by West Coast donors" unhappy with the Democratic party's leadership, "and it may be spreading to other parts of the country."

"This fracturing of the Democratic Party is a piece of good luck for Republicans, who are low in the polls because of profligacy and scandal by their members in Congress and policy blunders in Iraq and at home by the Bush presidency. Unless it can coordinate with the upstarts, the DNC's funding disadvantage will mitigate against an electoral upset. Money is the mother's milk of campaigns and the GOP already has a significant cash advantage."

Markos disagrees: "Hogwash, it means funders are taking their money out of an ineffective establishment and building the institutions to challenge the VRWC [vast right wing conspiracy]. That's not a party divided -- that's a party re-prioritizing its spending."

Looks like Barrons has a Democratic establishment source for their story.

When are these guys, particularly the DLC, gonna get a clue. There are a lot of people in the Democratic party who are very unhappy about how our party has been run, how our money has been spent. Thanks to the internets, we can now directly spend our money as we please, eliminating the Bob Shum's of the world.
