so I don't have a seat at the table, but it still strikes me that "being together" starts with everyone rallying around a candidate who is closest to Plattner's platform. If the Democratic establishment expects the average voter to approach a Mills candidacy with the same level of enthusiasm as they did Plattner, they are being very unrealistic. I'm a "vote blue, no matter who type guy" but the DSCC folks are deluding themselves if they thin everyone who was pumped about Plattner's platform is going to embrace Mills equally. Toghetherness requires both sides to move toward each other.
