Where in my post am I criticizing DB?
All I said was, IMO, if he decides to run for re-election he'll win.
He's run three times, won three times and had roughly the same amount of votes each time, and won by the same margin each time, and roughly the same number of members voted in each election, so it's not unreasonable to predict that he will win again, should he chose to run.
As far as C/L and FF, I'm not going to argue with you about it. You have a right to your opinion just as I do. Whatever group(s) he's tapped, he's got a base of 15,000 modelers that will vote for him, no matter what. There's nothing wrong with that; politicians all have a core base that they can rely on for votes. Any challenger is going to have to go into the election with his own base, and I don't see anyone with those types of numbers.
