Unity still out of reach - Matthew Dallek - Politico.com

Being a Democrat does not mean you "blindly" follow Obama, Dean, Pelosi and the moveon.org left wing branch of the DNC.

It is problematic for Obama campaign, because they have continued to make assumptions. They assumed they win this right after Iowa, they assumed they would have this locked up by super Tuesday, they assumed that supers would immediatly flock to him. They assumed that even after losing almost all the later primaries that Democratic voters would see him as a strong candidate. the biggest problem is they assumed that moderate Democrates would accept his "change" message. Roughly 17 million plus didnt buy his "change message."

Well "change" is more than a word. You have to have policies and plans, something people can look at and decide if they want to support. You can't surround yourself with Washington insiders and Chicago politicos on you campaign staff and say you are about "changing" the way Washington works. You cant say you wont deal with special interest and then let Moveon.org run hundreds of thousands of dollars of attack ads for you.

Democrats want action not another empty suit Polical figure who is just a front man for Moveon.org and the far left of our party.

Sorry but we would like to know what you will do about welfare reform, medicare fraud, reducing the size of government, not continuing support for blank check federal programs, but that would offend your base? Heaven forbid, but its OK to offend middle class Democrats who actually have to pay for this. But you have those Obama kids for you, unfortunately they cant 'text' their vote and this isnt American Idol, its the presidency and some Democrats take this seriously.

Democrats do not blindly follow the party when it makes a major mistake! Sorry!
