Hillary asked me for money today ...

[Onlooker]

I've been a fan of Hillary Clinton, but today I returned the form without a check with a short note that said, "I've decided to contribute $50 to Senator Boxer because, unlike Senator Clinton, she showed tremendous courage in defending our democracy by filing an objection to Ohio's electoral votes. Please remove my name from your mailing list."

I hate to say it, but Nader is right: The Democratic leadership has sold out. Personally, I think we should boycott the Dems in the next Congressional race, since we have no power there anyway. At any rate, we have to find a way to send the Democratic Party a very strong message.

1. Well done.

If she doesn't do something for you, you shouldn't do something for her.

2. Hear, hear!

You're right.

3. Unfortunately...

... this may be the reason why the Dems are begging McAuliffe to stay on--they know that they've damaged their grassroots money sources pretty badly by dissing MoveOn and similar groups, and he's pretty good at getting the big money.

Still, a small money boycott would hurt them. I don't think they appreciate, in any meaningful way, the many, many small donations that come from the bulk of Demo supporters. The average person who gives a couple hundred to their Rep or Senator is making a much larger sacrifice than a big corporation giving $50K to a PAC, but there's little question about which ass the McAuliffes of the party are going to kiss....

Cheers.
