Mike Dolan currently represents my district in the state Senate, and while we've had our disagreements about issues (primarily abortion, which he never mentions in his newsletters but it's all they're working on downstate), I suspect he may be approaching a rational level, even if he is trying to downplay his misogyny.

Edit: when I say that "we've had our disagreements", I mean that I send snotty emails and he sends back (if I'm lucky) some stupid canned response.

Yes, by all means, let's have Vance as the R candidate. The man who was so brave, he had almost gotten out of his chair by the time Mandel and Gibbons had finished their silly chest-thumping! The man who had to grow face hair so that he wouldn't look like a chubby ten-year-old who was about to pop his buttons (it diidn't work).

It describes enough of the party's voters to make the party one that predominately loses nationally and in roughly half the state legislatures.

So, yes, it describes the Democratic Party.

If part of your group keeps your group from winning, you have lost.

Maybe we need to be educating them about reality: they may imagine that they are temporarily embarrassed millionaires, but as of today, they need to vote their own interest, and worry about voting for the upper-class interests when they're not so "embarrassed"
