(39,909 posts)Especially revealing was the Arkansas Democratic Primary 2010
where the White House went All In to support virulently Anti-LABOR/Anti-HealthCare Blue Dog Blanche Lincoln
against a popular Pro-LABOR/Pro-HealthCare challenger, Democratic Lt Governor Bill Halter
who had the endorsement of LABOR and the Grass Roots.
The White House even sent the Old Blue Dog, Bill Clinton, back to Arkansas to rescue Lincoln's failing campaign.
Arkansas wasn't alone.
This situation was mirrored in other states with the White House and the Party Establishment endorsing and funding Blue Dogs in Democratic Primaries.
In Pennsylvania, the White House even managed to insert a Republican, Arlen Specter, into the race for a previously Democratic seat. With plenty of help & funds from the White House and conservative Party Establishment, Specter managed to win the Democratic Primary against a legitimate Democrat.
You will know them by their WORKS,
and by whom they support in Democratic Primaries.
