It will be very interesting to find out who financed and made donations to "Americans for Jobs, Healthcare, and Progressive Values", because it will be payback time.

I have a hard time believing that most of the donors wouldn't have known what the money would be used for, so if for example some labor unions made donations to this group, those unions should be targeted for a replacement of their "old guard" leadership with some real progressives.

If any companies made donations, it's boycott time.

We already know that one of the people behind this group was Ed Feighan, former Ohio congressman. He was the machine-anointed candidate for Cleveland, Ohio mayor in 1977 and lost the primary to the insurgent candidate, Dennis Kucinich, much to the chagrin of the corrupt party machine! He lost his House seat as a result of the House check kiting scandal of the early 1990s. He is also best known for being the original sponsor of the Brady Bill in the House. He's exactly the sort of person the Democratic Party needs to be rid of, but his political career is probably already over because of the check kiting scandal. In any case this should be the final blow to his political career, and if he is not persona non grata in the Democratic Party after this, he should be.
