“255 - 178 is the current balance of power. 40 no votes from blue dogs = 215 - 218, IF republicans stick together, which is no guarantee, since there are rinos loose in the land”
1. If the Blue Dogs have no confidence in the leadership, how long is it before they cut a deal with Republicans to vote all the leadership out?
2. How long will it be before Obama hires David Rodham Gergen to teach him to appeal to the milquetoasts?
If I recall correctly, Gergen saved Clinton’s presidency in the first year when the wheels were falling off. If he’d stayed away, there would have been no 2d term.
