Reply #4: Do people on here really think that if a non-DLCer is nominated... [View All]

That the DLC won't still support that nominee over Bush? I mean honestly do people really think that? If you don't think that then why is any more out of line for them to support the candidate they feel should get the nom than any other Democratic base group? I may be in the minority but I haven't heard any person affilliated with or supporting a DLC candidate say that but I have talked to a few anti-DLC people who say they won't support a DLC candidate as the dem nominee.

How about the fact that Gephardt has quite a few union endoresements and is also a DLC candidate. So does that mean Unions are not part of the Democratic base because they are trending towards endorsing a DLC candidate?

Honestly I don't like them any more than the next guy but this anti-DLC hysteria is getting to be a bit much? Especially coming from people who feel (rightfully so) that beating bush is the most important goal?
