How about:

1. Vote for Martha Coakley! She's successfully sued Goldman Sachs, is for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, is for marriage equality, and strongly supports a woman's right to choose!


2. But -- she's running as a self-avowed progressive Democrat, and Obama's a timid effing centrist!!

1. And?

2. (shrugs) Yes, exactly.

I understand the argument, I just don't agree with it. To what VL says, I'd add the trip to DC for Big Pharma funding immediately before the election. That's why I, among others, discounted the avowals (after being initially very willing). And on HCR, we were 100% correct to discount all avowals, including and up to the progressive baseline Kucinich.

If she had run as the AG who clawed back $70 million (or whatever) from Golden Sacks and stuck with it....

What Nike said: Just Do It.

Doesn't mean you can't still vote for a truly lib/prog Dem. But maybe, just maybe, lots of Dems deregistering as D and signing up as Independent, might, just might, send a message from which the party toffs would get a glimmer of understanding. Or not.
