Because it's 2012 and everyone with a D next to their name, if elected, will vote the same way every other D votes. There's virtually no such thing as a 'Blue Dog' Democrat anymore. So which would you be more comfortable with: a Senator who votes in line with the GOP or the Democrats? Because that's what you're getting either way. If you don't like either of those options, write yourself in.

Yeah I wasn't referring at all to ideology. I was referring to the fact that nowadays, as Shua pointed out, most Democrats are hardline in their voting. Joe Manchin may be the only exception to that rule. At least with some Senate Republicans (see: Scott Brown, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Dick Lugar, Lisa Murkowski among many, many others. That article Shua posted will tell you so.)
