Disappointed in some of the bloggers

It's really irritating when I read things from local bloggers who refuse to see the fact that Democratic politicians do have to appeal to the Wal-Mart crowd. I've addressed the pragmatism issue before. Why do liberals get this elitist label? Because of the attitude that it's not necessary to speak to "the little people" on their own terms, and yes, make some concessions. Politics is no different from any other relationship - there's got to be a give-and-take. I don't think our politicians need to compromise to party's core values, but they have to have broad appeal if we want them to get elected. Period.
