Democrats To Target Moderate Democrats This Election
Because Congress isn’t liberal enough right now, I guess.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — A powerful union, influential bloggers and several liberal groups have formed a political coalition to pressure conservative Democrats to support liberal policy goals.
“Accountability Now PAC will recruit, coordinate and support primary challenges against vulnerable congressional incumbents who have become more responsive to corporate America than to their constituents,” the PAC said in a written statement provided to CNN.
Accountability Now comprises of BlogPAC, Color of Change, DailyKos, Democracy for America, MoveOn, Service Employees International Union and 21st Century Democrats.
The PAC was created last September, and organizers have been acquiring funding and hiring an executive director to oversee the project, Jane Hamsher, of the political blog firedoglake.com, told CNN.
It will be interesting to see how people like, say, Rep. Earl Pomeroy here in North Dakota react to this. North Dakotans isn’t going to tolerate a move left (at least not on certain issues), so it would seem as though Democrats who like to appear moderate are going to be in a tough spot.
