| 30. During the run-up to the '08 election, DU was full -- just FULL -- of posts saying, "just get a D... |

ANY D! All that matters is a Dem majority. Never speak against a party member!"
Well, this is where that attitude leads.
(Not that these seats were all up for grabs in '08 -- just that in the long term, you need good people. A letter isn't enough)
