This is what's interesting. The big money wing of the democrats is the net-roots. Trust fund babies, tort lawyers, academia, feminists. The voting base though are mostly blacks, feminists, and union members. Only one of the three that have money. There's a real elitist attitude among their net-roots wing which adds fuel to the fire.

In some way it mirrors the seven level split among republicans. The country-clubbers, big government conservatives, small l libertarians, religious conservatives, security conservatives, gun rights advocates, and Club for Growth wing. I'm a gun rights advocate and tend to lean toward the libertarians and find myself at odds always with big government conservatives, frequently with the security and country club conservatives, and to a lesser extent with religious conservative outside of the pro-life issues.

We all have our battles.

“How will the netroots remain relevant and maintain the perception of Party leadership if the leader of their Party is repeatedly and conspicuously rejecting their core demand to either toe the Progressive policy line, or to be a hardened partisan brawler?”

Sounds very familiar.

I never thought I would see the day that a Clinton was too conservative for the left.

"There's some DLC versus progressive struggle"

Early in the campaign there were a lot conflict over whether or not Obama had been a DLC member. He denied it.

Any of the lefties who are supporting Obama thinking that he is very far to the left of Hilda are making a leap of faith.
