You realize that, even if we win, we will have to watch our new Democratic leaders like hawks to keep them from slipping back into corporatist ways:

Democratic leaders have signaled, in campaign commercials and elsewhere, that they intend to attack pharmaceutical and oil companies in a variety of ways when Congress reconvenes. That isn’t a surprise; neither industry has been very supportive of Democrats in recent years. Since 2002, drug firms have given about two-thirds of their donations and energy companies have given roughly three quarters of theirs to Republicans, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics (CRP).

Other industries that would be wise to watch their backs if Democrats take over include insurers, electric utilities, manufacturers, chemical makers, home builders, general contractors, food processors, railroads and building material producers — all of which gave 60 percent or more of their contributions to Republicans since 2002, according to the CRP’s statistics.

Democrats are likely to play favorites as well. If they win, they will almost surely give high priority to the wishes of labor unions and trial lawyers, which have generally been dismissed by Republicans. The CRP classifies the political action committees of both as either solidly or strongly Democratic. Environmental groups, which work closely with Democrats, would also have a leg up.

Each party knows precisely who its strongest backers are and who are its greatest enemies.
