Reply #23: I disagree. Its about poll numbers and priorities

Ned just crawled under double digits for the first time in a month or two.

There are something like 30 or 40 competitive races out there for Congress.

The loss of this seat to Joe or the capturing of the seat by Ned does not factor into the equation of a majority Democratic Congress in the House and Senate because Joe has stated he is going to caucus with Dems.

"The very people who were lecturing people to be sure to stay on board in 04 are being disloyal to the voters now"

Which people? People on DU? Because maybe I missed it because Duers haven't exactly been rolling out the red carpet for Hillary Clinton or Hank Johnson (winners of primary battles against more progressive candidates). I will give some credit for Harold Ford support which is very surprising given that he is a conservative Democrat. But really who is the "who" you are talking about?
