Autoegocrat has an interesting post at River City Mud Company regarding statements recently made by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) at a DLC dinner party in Georgia.
There are links to links with the full audio, but the pertinent comments are as follows:
"Let me tell you one other thing we did. We are no longer letting Democrats get in a circle and shoot each other. I was just in Tennessee with Harry and with (...) and we have a primary and I stood up there Harold Ford is running and he can become the first African-American elected in the south to the Senate since reconstruction which would be a great thing for America. There is this young woman whose... not so young... but a nice woman running against him but everyone says she is going to attack him."
"...(unintelligible) we are going to intervene if anyone one democrat attacks another, we're doing that in states where there are primaries. We can't afford to do it anymore. This always happens in the primaries, we would throw up the cards and see where they landed. No more, we are finding the best candidate in every one of the seats where a Republican is vulnerable."
Intervene? Are you suggesting, Senator Schumer, that I as a Democrat can't support who I damn well please in my own primary? If you think I'm mad, imagine Autoegocrat, who has already jumped on the Ros Kurita bandwagon.
In any event, read his post, it's interesting.
