You know you’re a screwup when you fail in DC twice.

“Amost all of the democrats I know are dead set AGAINST this package.”

We reaped what they sowed.

FWIW, I thought Limbaugh mentioned that Shuler went and got permission from Pelosi to vote against porkulus that last time around.

Anyone know if that's true, that Shuler asked for Pelosi's permission to vote against the bill?

He beat an incumbent Republican. It’s extremely likely he’s running for the Senate. His house seat should be reclaimed.

>> Has he decided to caucus with the GOP? Will he refuse to vote for Pelosi as Speaker? If not, he's just speaking through his arse. <<

Agreed. Thought I felt the same way about Zig Zag Zell Miller. He TALKED a good game, but when the Senate was divided 50-50 and his vote would have made the difference between GOP control of the Senate or Tom Daschle in charge, "conservative Democrat" Zig Zag voted to hand the reigns to Daschle. It never damped the enthusiasm of his fan club on FR though.

He’s coming down against Pelosi and Reid because he’s catching hell from his own constituents. It’s political trickery, and he’s up for re-election in 2010.

Will he refuse to vote for Pelosi as Speaker?

If not, he's just speaking through his arse.

No, Shuler has been getting hammered on the phone from his own district to not support this bill, that politico.com reported last week he went to Pelosi on both knees and got her blessings that if he voted no on this bill, she wouldn't punish him later.

He's up for re-election in 2010 also.  So all of this is just a bunch of smoke and mirrors.

Me too. A lot of ignorant “conservatives” might vote for him.
