he has become a top target — not just for Democrats, but also for Republicans who want to pin the mess on him.

I dunno. Maybe, if the Republicans would do what is right and not worry about messes, their recent electoral problems would evaporate. We aren't electing them to see how much they can spend. We're electing them to cut government and represent our interests. They have forgotten that.

Ted isn't my senator (I'm "represented" by Feinstein and Boxer), but maybe I should write him a note of encouragement anyway.

I am more hopeful today than I have been in a long time.

Let’s all do what we can in our own way to support him. I just hope he doesn’t cave. I don’t think he will. If you’ve listened to his father speak, you know that he instilled toughness into his son.

I think too, that Cruz believes he can persuade people thru his rhetoric. Hey, two weeks ago we never would have thought Boehner would have supported this. I think he knows now what he has to do.

The ball is now in the Senate. It’s in Harry Reid’s lap. If Reid tries to strip out the bill then Ted can get up there an filibuster. I hope to hell he has one of those Texas Catheters on, and he talks as long as Strom Thurmond did for 24 hrs and 18 min.
