I don’t think we should give Sen. Nelson or Blanche Lincoln or any of the other so-called “moderate” Democrats (whose first vote every term is for Harry Reid as Majority Leader) any notion that voting against Obama’s health care will save their seats. They are all going down regardless.

“....a little bit” is probably true. If you weren’t a commanding officer, then that’s all they allowed you to know, a little bit.

Sounds kinda like the tactics John Thune used during the Bolton nomination (play politics with national security to get your way on your little pet issue), except in reverse mode (Thune promised to vote down Bolton unless his state's air force base was kept OPEN after the pentagon had decided they didn't need it) Of course when Bolton played held national security hostage to get his way a bunch of freepers tell us there's nothing to be concerned about, Thune is a great conservative and deserves a promotion on a presidential ticket.

Thune actions were bad, Obama's are worse.

Northrop G. and Lockheed M. have also built new facilities nearby recently.

I can see that as maybe being a reason to not close the base, depending on what they are makeing at the facilities.

I hope you’re right. I don’t have a good feel for how strong the pro-life Dem caucus is over there.

In 2011 and 2013, Congress should impose an “Obama fine” on Chicago - cut federal funding to the city and tell them it’s because they supported Obama. Payback.
