Harrison made some donations to people with whom he was aligned in a bi-partisan fight on zoning. That's the long and the short of it.

One might add that this was back before one Marty Connor was toppled from the Senate leadership for the simple reason that he didn't invest the applicable time and effort into securing a majority. That's the larger failing here. The new focus on taking the Senate majority only came about after Connor was replaced by Paterson; of course, as one of his confidantes, you would know about that, which makes it even more mystifying that you would trash someone, whom you can conveniently line up with all the other Progressive-aligned candidates you've also trashed, for doing something that was perfectly in line with a policy that you yourself maintained.

What's ironic, of course, is that - and here we go off into all-about-Gatemouth territory again, as always and inevitably we do - you agree with Harrison on the war and on every substantial issue of policy. So one can't hep but feel that what's at work here is something else. I'd posit it's this: you've made your moderately lucrative peace with things as they are. As a result, you resent those who haven't.

Now, if you're going to use this blog to trash everyone aligned with us, and everything we stand for, you're going to run into an editorial problem here fairly shortly. We're not going to put money and effort into building a community of Progressives, only to have someone who's sold himself out and resents and envies those who have not, shit all over it.
