Reply #13: Except that politics follows the money [View All]

[AlabamaYankee]

Tehre's a saying in Academe that research follows the money, and the same is true for politics. McAuliffe was brought on board to counter the Republican monopoly on corporate fundraising; his mission was to out-republican the other side. He succeeded, but at the expense of grassroots organizing, and the traditional Democratic base has withered.

He and his corporation-pandering policies must go if the Democratic party is to be anythin but Republican-lite.
