Poll question: To what degree has the Democratic Party been infiltrated/co-opted in your State?
To what degree do you think right-wingers have infiltrated the Democratic Party (or co-opted Democratic candidates)?

4. In West Virginia we have Manchin as the Governor and he is a Republican wearing a Democrat's hat.
This state is completely controlled by Coal and Chemical industry interests and is soon to welcome in the gas drillers and their fracking.

6. I don't know about "right-wingers", but our state party is DLC controlled.
It's a disappointing state of affairs.

In the most recent gubernatorial election, I couldn't
even get signs or ANY BACK-UP whatsoever from the party
when I went door to door as a precinct delegate.

The party essentially gave the election to Rick Snyder,
the darling of Ann Arbor.

Really.
