The Dems need to support the people that represent the voters.

Which in this case was Lamont.

If it was a Republican winning a district with only 100K votes, is that still representitive?

Why do I get the sense that if it's a Republican you are OK with it, but not when it's a Democrat, or at least a new one who is ousting an incumbent.

oh i have no problem with this at all. what would i have a problem with? i'm just saying it's foolish for the dems to rally behind this guy.



this is the way i see it; if a democrat becomes a republican, he's a traitor. but if a republican becomes a democrat, he's grown up.
