How now, Yellow Cao...

Uh, no. He's just trying to land a gig after he inevitably loses that seat, and was probably promised one by Obama (who has been courting him for all sorts of things since he won the seat).

I'll be surprised if he even tries to run again, as an R or a D - no way would he win a primary dominated by black voters.

Won't help him a bit, either. His election was a fluke - one that the local Dems will correct at their first opportunity.

Yup.

Now where's the screaming thread with phone numbers, dedicated to each and everyone of the of the Democrats from red districts who voted for this monstrosity.

Now that would be far more constructive.

In that district, I have no doubt they were burning up his phone and fax lines demanding he support it. He did what his constituents demanded. Remember, many of the Blue Dogs said to hell with what the people want in their district and voted with the Pelosibeast anyway, and Cao didn’t. It sucks this thing passed, but anomalies like what happened with Cao last night are going to happen when we find GOPers winning elections in districts like his. So, I’m not sure what we expected him to do.

Just trying to see it from a different angle.

Little does the naive phuck know that he has earned no Dimocrat votes while alienating what few Republicans there were in his district.

I personally promise to send money to his Dimocrat opponent next year.
