Liberal Site: Withhold DSCC Donations If Schumer Votes For Mukasey
The liberal Web site Democrats.com has thought up an interesting way to sway Chuck Schumer's vote on the Mukasey nomination. The Washington Post reports that they've begun an e-mail campaign to withhold donations to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which Schumer heads up, if he votes for the nomination.

If you go to the dictionary and look up the definition of "cutting off one's nose to spite one's face," you'll find this idea.

The DSCC doesn't have to be the channel through which Dems get elected, people. It's not as though it's going to get us *better* Democrats or be especially efficient with our money. This is a fine idea.

I only donate to candidates I support. I told Schumer that the DSCC gets no more of my $ unless they filubuster Alito.
He hasn't seem a dime from me since.
Better Democrats get my $

What reason does he have to vote for Mukasey anyway?
He acts like it's a lose-lose proposition, but I don't see him losing anything if he votes against. He can just say, well, I didn't know he was for waterboarding and expansive executive power when I suggested him as a good candidate.
