This is a significant gain for us — breaks the BO momentum of the afternoon and gives cover to other RATS — everyone remember that, having watched Ben Nelson get trapped, if you’re gonna bolt from your leadership, do it early.

That is exactly right.
I don;t know if this is any indication at all of how the other dems are thinking. Arcuri is in a tight spot here.
He is getting virtually no support from his district now because he has followed Obama. He is REALLY worried and rightfully so.
I just wouldn’t read that into too many other congresscritters right now without knowing their positions as I know his.
