Hillary cuts $5000 check for Lamont and Bayh endorses Ned |
|
With his loss in the primary--Sore Loserman is losing his support base in the Senate. Hillary Clinton is cutting a $5000 check to support Ned Lamont and fellow moderate Indiana Senator Evan Bayh said the people have spoken and he is supporting Lamont in the general.
According to KOS Sen. Dodd is going to try and talk Loserman out of the Indie bid--and tomorrow (or today) Schumer and Reid will both speak out on the race. What will they say?

No, she needs to move left and we'll stand here and wait for her to do so before making any moves.

46. Lamont's got to denounce Hillary if he wants to establish himself as the |
|
hero of the left.According to many here at DU, Hillary represents all the wickedness that the Democratic party has become. Ned is the knight in shining armor who will lead the fight to undo all of that backward compromising, triangulating stuff.
After all of the hooplah about his anti-war position, I'm just hoping Ned doesn't sell out the left and become a politician like Hillary.Tossing that five grand back in her face will be a good indicator that Ned's his own guy.

8. Hillary is cutting a check in a further attempt to distance herself |
|
from the Iraq war vote (as well as other DLC votes). She appears to be a creature of the currents (polls, that is). She was once my fav. for '08 - now I am almost 'anyone but'. Gore, Feingold....Boxer would rock, but has no chance - sigh - I love my senator.

She had the right ideals for many years.... but the trying years in DC, Lobbyists, and ambition have warped her ideals.

20. Whoa!!!! They're lining up for Ned. |
|
As Flounder says, "This is going to be great!!"
Watch Reid apply the pressure. He may outright announce that he's going to pull Loserman's committee assignments. Or, he may just make a quiet phone call to Loserman telling him that he has only until Congress reconvenes to withdraw his candidacy, or forfeit his committee assignments.
Oppose the Democratic Party nominee and you cannot call yourself a Democrat. Don't like it, Loserman? Tough shit!

all have the same position Hillary/Bush/Olmert/Netanyahu have. Only Leahy and Hagel dissent among Senators and serious Senate candidates. I don't think HC should be singled out for doing what virtually all politicians, including all major presidential contenders, are doing: blindly backing Israel on everything it does.

Hillary is a little late to the party but I think we can give her a kuodos on this too.
Bayh has been highly critical of Bush, Rove, the Iraq War and has demanded Rummy's resignation for 2 years now......he's one of the good moderates.

I'm not too keen on these individual politician PACs like HILLPac ...
money doled out in almost patronage fashion
is it IOU money ... a modern form of political machine politics?
couldn't she make a personal donation like the rest of us?
the current financing of campaigns is in need of reform
