103. DLC candidates lose
DLC and its candidates have very little power. Most of their candidates have lost in the most recent elections, at the national, state and local levels.

They're making a big noise right now, but they don't have anything to back it up with, certainly not in popular support or money.

The only credible Dems who want to follow them are those who fear having to rely on grassroots Dems for fundraising. Sure, its easier to go to cocktail parties in DC and elsewhere and raise your money from corporate interests and their lobbyists. But it doesn't get you anywhere, least of all elected outside of your own safe district.
