True - but they do not have the big money to back them up as does Pelosi and her rich, rich hubby. It is confounding how many businesses they are connected with in one form or another. From limos to real estate. With dems it's always, always money wields power and we must always follow the money.

Boxer is a useful idiot - as are the others you named. Their power comes from a compliant press. Pelosi's power is money and the threats she makes to withold dem support for a candidate who does not play ball.
