Reply #55: And if in the effort to replace them, the GOP is empowered?

[jpgray]

Finding acceptable replacements in these conservative areas is one thing, winning the primary is another, and finally winning in the GE is yet another. It can be done, yes, but it will take a great deal of work and probably isn't feasible for next year. Do those blue dogs or DLC-types deserve to be kicked out? In large part, absolutely! Throwing Congress back to the GOP is not something that interests me, and if you target all 47 blue dogs in the House alone, you'll have a hard time finding a good progressive replacement, let alone winning the seat in some of those districts.
