16. No one said that they weren't
This is how the Democrats ALWAYS blow it. They have a winne but that's not good enough. Then the party loses valuable voters to an unelectable candidate.

We need to get President Obama back in 2012 and this November we need to pick up Senate seats to crush the Republicans so we can get work done.

Vote for whomever you like if you are not happy no one is stopping you.

Interesting you attack me but you didn't attack the original poster who I was agreeing with....hunh...facinating.
