I don't doubt that he will sell out to any group that he thinks he can get away with selling out to.

I guess that means that we are in pretty close agreement. I was naturally reacting to the point 'Would Davis sell out his principled stand for $1 million?', to which the answer IS obvious. The points you are making simply point out that, on net, he mightn't be getting anything he cares about, i.e. winning, and that would prevent him from selling out for nothing, or for less than nothing.

Oh certainly, yes. No question we're in basic agreement on that issue.
