In other words, “screw what the voter wants“. I have been speaking to a lot of Democrats lately who are fed up with their party. From the waffling of the leadership in the House and Senate, to this entire delegate mess, they are tired of it. Something has to be done soon or the Independent […]
In all honesty he would be more at home there then at the Democratic convention. None the less it would be nice to have a solid enough majority in the Senate next year to tell Lieberman to shove off to the other side of the aisle.
The according to Matt Stoller: Then I spoke with Hillary, and she said she has assured her colleagues she will go back to the Senate if they need her vote. She though that we have already lost, alluding to the Judiciary version of the bill which was voted down on Friday. I urged her to […]

Chris Dodd posted a video on YouTube thanking the netroots for supporting him yesterday. Chris Dodd is the one owed a thanks for standing up for the rule of law and shooting down the administrations abuse of that law. If only other Democratic presidential candidates, who are in the Senate, decided to take the issue […]
Trent Lott is leaving the Senate this year. Wow – that’s just one year after getting re-elected. Things must be really bad for Bushies. Bob Cesca has some great reasons why he may be resigning.
