(onyx, on another subject, what do you think of retiring Sen Gregg for Sarah’s VP? From NR today:)
Turning toward his own political future, Gregg said its not likely that he will run for president in 2012 though he didnt foreclose that possibility.
In New Hampshire we like to have a variety of candidates, so I would seriously doubt that. I expect to be actively involved in the presidential primary. Thats the fun on coming from New Hampshire and being in office, Gregg said.
I dont rule out anything in my future. Lets face it thats not likely and I wouldnt expect to be doing that, he added.
That's why Reid is operating in a big hurry like a thief in the night-
Remind me what is the difference in governing philosophy and style between Hugo Chavez and Harry Chavez Reid?
Do you suppose some of them felt the November earthquake?
They are showing a little more backbone than usual.

I'm afraid no one sees this as a credible threat anymore. I thought we had it with this crap before but we just had Republicans pass a huge spending and deficit increase bill. First major legislation after the November elections and it's more of the same. I just can't see much progress. Corker sounds like the typical Republican nancy boy. Pathetic. A third Party appears to be more and more the only possible road to restoring our Republic.
How about not passing bills or doing anything for the next 3 weeks, other than cleaning out offices for the next occupants?
How about going home to make cookies with the kids?
Imagine there’s no Congress, lame-ducking us to death.
You are right. Why is the GOP voting for any of this stuff? Just say no!!!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
We need to have another RINO hunt in 2012.
Clearly, we MISSED SOME!
Well, it is not great...but he is from the NE, which she needs, and well respected by Rs and Ds.
Just a thought, I have not a clue how these things are done, only that a candidate is supposed to try and get a part of the country they don’t already have?
Who knows, just for fun speculation!
I have a hard time believing DADT is causing erosure in the support for START or even DREAM. But then again who knows why the establishment class behaves as they do.
He lost his credentials when he agreed to work in Obama’s administration, short-lived as it were.
Thanks for the ping.
START is a surrender to the Russians. NO DEAL!
DADT repeal to weaken the military. NO DEAL!
DREAM to create more gimmie, socialist, rat voters. NO DEAL!
NO DEAL!
RINOs are tough prey.
That’s why they are most easily brought down in a cross-fire.
OPEN GAYS in the military will DESTROY IT!! NO straight person will want to be in it!! STOP THE MADNESS!!
The Democrats can pass any of this stuff they want; they’re in the majority. You’re right, though. They’ve gotta have the few Republicans to give them cover so they can get them to take the blame with the voters next time around. Bipartisanship hasn’t bothered the Dems up till now; so why now?! Or as Obama said, “You Republicans can just ride in the back seat now!” So RIDE and let the Dems bask in the glow.
Republicans ought not to pass EITHER ONE!
Geesus H. Krist ,not another compromise.
WTF is wrong with these people. Stop everyything, hold the horses,Stop the press’s. Pass Nothing during Lame duck season.
No compromise’s, NOTHING.
Does anyone know if the Repubs in the Senate are going to fillibuster this s*** especially DADT and also the Dream Amnesty?
