Democrats and Incumbents
In my opinion, getting rid of incompetent Democrats is not going to be easy for three reasons: Super Delegates, Gerrymandering and Corporate Funding.
It was during the last Presidential Elections we Villagers found people called “Super Delegates” residing -hiding- in some place called the Electoral College.
During the ‘08 Presidential Elections, a lot of time was spent locating, feting, vetting and cajoling these Super Delegates. The exercise attached a powerful sub-plot to the elections from the primaries well into the generals. As I recall, Republican candidates did not have an equally distracting sub-plot having to deal with Super Delegates. Unfortunately, the "pleasures" of dealing with Super Delegates will repeat itself in Presidential Elections for a few more cycles and I understand (Yawn) some members of Congress are working to abolish it.
I do not have a good grasp or first hand knowledge on the effects of gerrymandering but according to CNN TV commentator Jack Cafferty, gerrymandering is one of the big reasons our government is dysfunctional. Mr. Cafferty is not known to be un-disciplined with his knowledge.
Finally, I learned yesterday why Democrats cave in so easily to Republicans. I learned Democrats were not only in the same corporate bed as Republicans but they are taking up most of the room on it. That huge and highly concentrated bit of information from Dkos diarist *Lenny Flank is worth its weigh in gold to any voter, including TeaBaggers.

God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. TeaBaggers have really peaked my interest! I can not wait for endorsement for 2010 and 2012! I pray they know what they are doing and I repeat, there are those with long memories who feel the Democratic Party is also overtly racist. I just want to vote for good candidates and I think TeaBaggers do too.

Excerpt:
Many people here, of course, will simply not believe that the corporados are ruthlessly nonpartisan and own Dem asses just as much as they own Repug asses, simply because they don't want to believe it. I know that an awful lot of us would feel lots better inside if we could pretend that the big bad corporations are always behind the evil Repugs, while we poor but brave Dems valiantly fight them alone with our army of small donors. But alas, reality says otherwise. And reality always wins. One thing I noticed from 20 years of creationist-fighting, however, is that ideologues of all sorts are only "skeptical" about things they don't want to believe anyway.
