re: #602 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

As Obdi already noted, it’s about the numbers, about the majority. In many parts of the country, party loyalty still has to take a back seat to ideology. Thus running a New England Democrat in the Deep South would be suicidal. This is something the GOP is in the process of learning for itself.

But if you can’t trust the Blue Dogs to vote the party line, what good is having a majority?
