there were more consequences, to Dems doing this stuff, but everything 3rd-party gets tainted by Libertarian & Tea types who don't have any qualms about dissembling and there's just too much on the table to risk it.

Have an organizing meeting Saturday, that'll help, to have some actual work to do!!
