Something is up here.
where’s hoosiermama..she usually knows the scoop..this is really breaking news..can’t believe it.
“Something is up here.”
I believe it’s the slow drip becoming a great leak and the damn is about to break on some issues.
i agree this should concern all of us all these democrats dropping out in the house and senate seems to easy I think they have other plans in mind like centralizing power so much in the bureacracy through bankrupting the states that they will have no power at all in the elected branches of gov’t. They are trying to look weak when strong SUN TZU tactic.
Something is up here.
The Rats are grabbing the lifeboats.
Agreed.
I”m afraid what is up is that they are having these damaged candidates retire and then put in new dems that are not damaged by these bad votes.
Maybe he wants to be governor again, or maybe President, or did he just pull a John Galt?
I said the same thing in Jan. Something is very, very wrong. Why would a majority party, leading party, etc. have members essentially quitting. It doesn’t make sense.
One, maybe two...but this is odd or they are all very scared.

Yes, but is it limited to just Evan Bayh and his own actions?
I can’t help but think this actually play into Obama’s hands. If you remember the first two years of Clinton’s first term were a disaster. But as soon as he was able to blame the Republican congress, he came back and got reelected. He made a nice career out of blaming Republicans for everything. If Obama has as a Democratic congress when he faces reelection, he loses.
