If you were going to run for office as a Democrat now, would you be more apt

[Winterblues]

to run as a Blue dog or a Progressive? Considering how the Administration has bent over backwards for the Blue Dogs and given them just about anything they wish and how they have pretty much told the Progressives to STFU. What would the smart future politician Democrat choose? I don't see America headed back to the Left any time soon..:-(

1. Maybe run as a Blue Dog

(especially if you're from here in Alaska) and then make laws like a progressive. Bait and switch could work for our side, too. :evilgrin:

3. I like the way you think but I don't see it happening

Progressives are being told to just STFU and are not having any of their amendments or bills even considered..

6. I agree, it's pretty pathetic.

2. Depends on where I was from.

I'm from San Francisco, so it's pretty easy for me to run as a progressive.

If I lived in a more purplish district, I'd be more likely to show blue doggish tendencies.

4. Theres more money in being a Blue Dog

Though I could never fuck people over like they do, so I would never get elected.

5. Whichever way would get me elected.

Here in Arizona the former would be much more popular than the latter.

7. For a lot of politicians it depends on the district. n/t
