Typical Chicago way thugogracy.
I hope Sen. Nelson stands tall and calls their bluff. If nobama does start the ball rolling to close the base, the push back will be shocking!
Ain't gonna happen.....he's a loyal "D" and just holding out for some porcular goodies.
That's the way the game is played.
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.
