21. You're wrong. Nothing is more important in this election

than winning every Democratic seat in the House and the Senate that we possibly can. It doesn't matter a bit how conservative Harold Ford is. He'll be a Democrat, and we'll be one vote closer to having John Conyers in the driver's seat.

I assume John Conyers is pure enough for you.

Having a majority will be the only way we will be able to head any committees, issue any subpoenas, perform any oversight, or prevent any of Bush's bills from passing. He never aims for concensus. He has a bare majority and that's all he needs to win every vote that he wants.
