18. Debbie doesn't like to attack Republicans, she prefers to get along with them.

May 2012

No surprise she would not be standing firm with Wisconsin Dems. considering her history when it comes to fighting Republicans.

She is at best, extremely misguided and should be removed from this position. This is a time when Democrats need a real fighter. The Republicans are fighting hard to win this election and the people of Wisconsin have put up a heroic fight to get to this point. She has done nothing to help them, while the RNC is fully backing Walker with all their resources.

If Dems lose, her reputation will definitely suffer badly, so she might want to listen to the Wisc Dems who are in a far better position to know how important this race is, along with Rachel Maddow who might be a better choice for that position.

Sometimes I really wonder about Debbie, is she just clueless, or is it something else? To actually think you do not have to FIGHT to WIN! Unbelievable.
