IF Sarah Falin can line up enough corporate money, she could wind up the next president.

THAT is fucking scary.

1. Here's something just as scary.
Corporations can go into safe Blue districts and run faux-Dems against progressives, even incumbents, and win. Raul Grijalva, for example, gets elected in one of the lowest turnout districts in the country. So it's entirely possible that some well-funded fake "liberal" could take him out.

2. Or Dennis Kucinich
He had 4 DLC primary opponents last time. It can only get worse, thanks to this bullshit.

3. Like I said in an eariler thread, just the THREAT of corporate money
could cause a candidate to back out or change his campaign.
