I actually think that the real evil is Cigna (this month) and the corruption of money (as old as the hills) because it leads to meddling in the ME, the corrupt Saudi government and the rise of OBL. That being said, I do not like the DLC and its corporate ties and I do not think Pelosi et al should be partying with corporate sponsors even if they have to now eat while standing up. The entire campaign/lobbying/retirement system of politicos is hugely corrupt but that will never change without making private campaign contributions illegal. Without 100% publicly funded campaigns (thankfully short due to sheer lack of media funds), we will never get rid of this kind of corruption. That and Single Payer health care would remake this country in a few years. :) I like this horse race on both sides. Everyone should have to fight for this tooth and nail and this also brings many more into the process just because it is exciting. It would be interesting to have a brokered convention of a coronation.
