The Hill reports that Woolsey approved of a suggestion that activists challenge incumbent Democrats in the primaries. "You folks should go after the Democrats," she said on a conference call last month, organized by the Network of Spiritual Progressives.

"I’d hate to lose the majority, but I’m telling you, if we don’t stand up to our responsibility, maybe that’s the lesson to be learned," Woolsey said.

Now this is a Democrat that I could see giving money too. It might be too little too late (like some of the moderate Republicans in Oregon who tried to keep the state Evil Party out of the hands of the christopaths; I voted for some of them, but of course they were pounded flat by the kill all the gay people, then give me their tax refunds! contingent) but at least it's putting up some sort of battle against the rudderless stumbling of the DC caucus. It's not quite as ruthlessly efficient as stripping Lieberman (dfE-CT) of his committee seats and letting him scamper into the welcoming arms of the Evil Party,) but there's a time and a place for everything, and the Democratic Party is overdue for an Evil-Party-ish purge of the reflexive hawks and terminally spineless.
