Although you’ve done that before, I always forget that unanimity among the principals is part of it.

Have you thought about asking future Blue America candidates to forswear Blue Dog membership?

It’s not a majority vote thing. I think there was a feeling that she didn’t have a real chance and that we had already endorsed too many candidates. There was also a mediocre phone discussion with her. There’s no real argument <i>against</i> her though.</p> There was never unanimity for an endorsement. It’s not a majority vote thing.
