I just read about this event, and had not seen the discussion of it at DU. Did I post it in LBN? No.

I realize that it will take quite a few $250-$2800 checks to make a campaign run, but should a Democratic candidate solicit them at a private, for-profit health care corporate board member's house and refuse to even meet with the union asking for a contract from said corporation?

I am disappointed in old Joe here, and it's not like I was impressed with him prior.

If I were to vote in a presidential
