Just wondering if it helps the caucus, or the ability of progressive blogs to support the caucus, if you make fun of them on CSPAN?

In the past, this group has published a comprehensive platform-approach. Have you had the chance to read the latest version?

Thinks the U.S. financial sys is the best in the world. I think that tells you a lot about Himes. My guess is, like Obama, he’s conservative, in the sense that he agrees with existing power structure, whatever that is. I wouldn’t expect him to be progressive in any way. (Rolling judgement; will modify if evidence to the contrary emerges.)</p> He’s ex-Goldman Sachs. Thinks the U.S. financial sys is the best in the world. I think that tells you a lot about Himes.

My district, formerly considered safely Repub, represented by Chris Shays elected Jim Himes who ran as an anti-war candidate. He’s voted for and will vote for the supplemental.
