You'd vote for Manchin but not Amy in Minnesota?

So the ConservaDem's don't want a Democratic majority? I can understand endorsing a Republican in Wyoming, Utah and Tennessee where the Democratic sucks or is a Neo-Nazi, but why in Nevada, Wisconsin or Massachusetts? If I am told that I need to support Blue Dogs in order to gain a Democratic majority, which I will do if I know that a more moderate/liberal candidate couldn't win in a given district, why can't I expect that from my Conservative Democratic friends when there is a liberal in a state where the Dem can win? The only Conservative Democratic that I did not endorse was Joe Manchin and that I because I feel like he could be more moderate/liberal in the Senate and still win, like Jay Rockefeller.

PS. This isn't ment to be mean to anyone. I would just like to have a legitimate debate on the issue with my Conservative Democratic friends. I feel like having that debate is important for the party. =)

And Gaas, I'd assume that they find the center-right candidates in MA, NV, and WI closer to them ideologically and more willing to work with them than the far-left candidates in those states. Also, http://www.crewsmostcorrupt.org/mostcorrupt/entry/shelley-berkley

I can understand that, especially about Berkley's issues, but I have been told by that if I support the primary of a Conservative Democrat or not caring if they lose that I don't care about the Democratic majority. Why is it any different the other way? That is my question.

I don't know, because I vote for the guy who's ideologically closest to me without regard to majorities.

I can understand and respect that.
