Given that the corporations have been banned from donating large sums of money, why are you still cozying up to them? I understand why Clinton did this back in '92 trying to even things up with the competition. But it no longer makes any sense. And even then it probably did more harm than good.

Blue collar workers voted for Democrats because the Democrats worked for their interest against those of big business. When we stop doing that work, what reason does the blue collar worker have for continuing to vote Democratic? You don't find a whole lot of enlightened individuals working in factories or in the building trades, so you're not going to get them on social issues. Democrats, like Mayor Daley in Chicago who has embraced privatization, are removing any reason for popular support of the Democratic party.

Given enough time this idiot is going to swing Chicago to the Republicans. Considering that his son has proclaimed himself a Republican while the mayor himself admits to having voted for W this last election, that may be his intent.
