One of the "benefits" to the ConservaDems and BlueDogs with all the foot dragging of the Baucus Caucus is that it's pushed the process far back.

Vic is 63 next year. If he’s ever going to run for the Senate, now is the time. His base is Little Rock. He’s been a Rep for years. This might just be his best chance at it. He also saw how nutter the teabaggers were first hand earlier this year.

I wonder how he polls against the GOP Candidates?

Somebody please tell me why in the world these Democrats feel the need to do healthcare reform in a bipartisan manner? The last time I checked when the GOP was in power they told the Democrats they could either go along for the ride or not but either way the train was leaving the station. Now that the Democrats have the power why are they not doing the samething? I'll add your dare to the new ad running in NV daring Reid to standup and do the right thing or else.

Looked like Rachel really enjoyed it. Any prospective Progressive Candidates out there to challenge Blanche? (Hope so). Really getting sick and tired of Blue Dog control of the Democratic Party. wonderful interview with Rachel, Jane. Looked like Rachel really enjoyed it.

I agree that Lincoln probably won't lead the obstructionist fight, but some will. We should announce some plans for that national "optimized" fundraising. Cross that rubicon, Jane!

Everyone sits back in their chairs when they hear it on the air. But the high priced lawyers serving as a shadow government have been doing the same thing for longer than anyone would care to admit.
