Gossip is one thing, but this"story" does not hold water when you look at the facts. To wit:
2006 Election Candidates
Following the November 7 midterm elections, Media Matters for America examined the policy positions of those Democratic House candidates who, as of the morning of November 8, had defeated Republican incumbents or been elected to open seats previously held by Republicans. This survey of the Democrats' campaign websites, candidate questionnaires, and statements in news reports found that these incoming lawmakers agree on a set of issues central to the Democratic platform, including raising the minimum wage, changing course in Iraq, and protecting Social Security:
* All 27 candidates support raising the minimum wage.
* All 27 candidates advocate changing course in Iraq.
* All 27 candidates oppose efforts to privatize Social Security.
* Only two of the 27 candidates do not support embryonic stem cell research.
* Only five of the 27 candidates describe themselves as "pro-life."
