Primary Dealbreaker

Arlen's going to cross over and vote with the Dems on FISA.

I'll believe it when it's recorded in the official record.

Until then, Arlen Specter is Lucy with the football and the Democrats are Charlie Brown. (I stole that from somewhere.)

This looks to be a rout. Almost all of the middle of the road Dems voted no on cloture.

Debate continues.

Did Specter?

Specter went with the Dems. Good on him.

Sens. Mark Pryor (D-AR), Ben Nelson (D-NE), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and Mary Landrieu (D-LA) went with the GOP.

Glad to see Johnson and McCaskill on the good side.

Motion failed 48-45.

Screw them.
Neither HRC or Barack could bestir themselves to come to Washington and stand with Chris Dodd against retroactively immunizing telecom giants who helped President Stupid break the law and trash the Constitution. HRC's taken more money from the telecoms than anyone, and I expect very little from her anyway. But Mr. New Politics? Mr. New Era? It starts by demolishing the theory of executive power that's enabled the old one, and you were AWOL on a big vote. Edwards at least said they should go back and vote.
You and me, John, I guess, now that Denny the K is out.

I agree 100 percent!

You're late, dude.
Barack and HRC stepped up this week.
Damn, I knew there was someone I missed with the memo.

Meanwhile, I guy I would have voted for hits the nail on the head.

He seems like a level-headed guy. How come there seem to be fewer like him and more wingnuts running?

There was some question how a thrice-divorced Jewish liberal could play south of, oh, Madison.

Sorry. Couldn't help myself.
