8. Uhm...
It has to do with that magic thing called "Winning elections." And that other thing about "progressive reform."

If you don't embrace a politics that is accessible and can reach out to real peoples conditions than you will not inspire them to vote.

Having a bizzarro universe version of the Chamber of Commerce- only maybe one that is slightly more gay friendly (as long as they buy stuff) and maybe only wants slightly more tax cuts for themselves (at the expense of social security) is not a winning strategy.

So brilliant... not really to get elected, but it will be an excellent method and device to get endorsements in primaries for conserva-dems.
