Dave,

For IP if you wish. Political post.

Would a VC invest in the Democratic Party today?

A Venture Capitalist would look at things such as the Democrat's
business plan, their key executive staff, their projected milestones,
results to date, product development, brand integrity and so forth.

My VC response today would have to be: No.

I am not going to pour more money into a plan that has not worked,
executives who can not execute, milestones that I can not see or
find, same old same old unsatisfactory results, non existent new
product development, and a very tattered and poorly managed brand
identity.

And see my comment posted today which substantially extends my
argument.  You have to love the work of Adam Curtis.  Thankfully, he
and Errol  Morris are friends and Amanda brings home DVDs of Adam's
work.

Regards,

Jock
