DLC members supported by DFA

[Radical Activist]

I decided to compare the list of DLC members in Congress with the list of those who received money from Democracy for America.

I found a DLC list from their website here:
http://www.ndol.org/new_dem_dir.cfm

The list of DFA recipients I found at http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/pacgot.asp?strID=C00370007&Cycle=2004

Since the DLC site only lists incumbent members of Congress I don't know how many candidates that lost were DLC members that also received DFA money. So this is only a partial list that covers incumbents.

Rep. Joseph Crowley - NY
Rep. Rush Holt - NJ
Rep. Nick Lampson - TX
Rep. Zoe Lofgren - CA
Rep. Jim Matheson - UT
Rep. Jim Moran - VA
Rep. Grace Napolitano - CA
Rep. Loretta Sanchez - CA
Rep. David Wu - OR
Sen. Ken Salazar - CO

I don't argue with DFA's right to support moderate DLC candidates. I do take issue with the frequent portrayal of DFA as a progressive vehicle to move the party left, if they're going to support DLC moderates at the same time. If the point of DFA isn't to support progressive candidates, then what is its true mission?
