It will only serve one purpose -- divide, instead of unite us.

He was doing that in a very safe district. It put the DC establishment on notice that we are a force that will not go away. We aren't gonna get discouraged by HoJo, or the setback in Ill. where Mark Pera lost. We are gonna keep fighting and help put more and better Democrats in DC. Wynn wanted to be a Bush DINO.
