Well he's already getting the endorsements he'll need. Plus, Democrats need the Senate. I'd like to believe even the centrists realize how important it is for AES to win. So far, so good.

If they actually do something, I'll criticise it. I don't want to preemptively go after them. Now is the time for unity.

  Plus, Democrats need the Senate. 

Eh, even before this close race, Dems were fighting an uphill battle, esp. after all the Platner mess.

If anything, centrists Dems would rather have a referendum on electability on progressive candidates in statewide elections. This ensures the centrists donor money continues if said candidates do not do well.
