What is the deal with Dave Price?
Edited on Thu Jan-16-14 01:48 AM by No Elephants
I have no idea who Dave Price is, but he is billed as "WHO-TV's Political expert." This is on a web page that he seeems to have written himself. http://whotv.com/author/dave-price/

It's not everyone who is billed as a "Political expert" who will admit on air to a possible Presidential candidate, the world and God that he has no idea how to pronounce "corporatist" and does not know what it means.

(Disclaimer: I have no idea yet whether I will support Governor Schweitzer for President or not, so this is not about him at all.)

1. Schweitzer certainly pushes some key buttons for me.
He doesn't mince words. He comes right out and says we are being ripped off by the insurance and pharmaceutical industries. And he wants to end these wasteful wars.

Contrast that with Hillary who never met a corporation she wouldn't cozy up to, or a war she couldn't support. We don't need another Third Way president. Third Way (Obama and Hillary's club) is destroying the Democratic Party and the nation.

2. The only ones in the Senate that I do not see as totally Third Way
are Sanders, Warren, Brown and, from time to time, Al Franken (even though he seems to love voting for cuts to SNAP). Feingold would have been in that group too, but oops, he is gone.

All of them currently in that group, even Sanders, are dependent for their re-election and their power while in office upon the good graces of the Democratic Party, most of which is Third Way. So, while they may advocate for this position or that, in the end, they will mostly vote with their caucus, especially if the vote is close. Not that advocacy is meaningless, but, in the end, advocacy alone is not going to change lives.

Most Governors, I don't know much about. I know the usual about the more high profile Governors like Christie, Walker, Scott, etc., but I don't have deep knowledge of many of them.

Schweitzer, I have not researched at all. He'd have to go some to be less appealing to me than Hillary, though. But, the fix seems to have been be in for Hillary. They've been touting her as inevitable--IF she even deigns to run, wink wink--since before November. IMO, it's been very brave of them to have made it that obvious that soon. That may mean they have ceased to fear us even a little, and even at the voting booth. I wish I could say, if they did, they are wrong, but I can't.

Yet.
