The Game Is The Game
By Kleinheider Posted on July 24, 2008 at 4:35 pmDemocratic U.S. Senate candidate Mike Padgett has embarked on the course he needs to in order to have a chance at winning the war against Bob Tuke. However, in the process, it would seem he has lost the battle of Ilissa Gold:
First of all, “most liberal wing of the Democratic Party”? Who does Padgett think he is, Harold Ford? I want to vote for a Democrat who’s going to, well, be a Democrat, not one who uses right-wing talking points to bash other Democrats. Look at Padgett’s fellow “Appalachian Democrat” Jim Webb. You can be a conservative Democrat and still be a proud Democrat. The last thing we need right now are DINOs who will capitulate to the Republicans in the name of some false “bipartisanship”.
