1. It's early yet. I'll wait to see who might jump on board. I hope
she doesn't have a choice but to change her mind about Cheney.

5. This party she was at concerns me
He is a conservative guy here who has a radio show. And he is OBNOXIOUS. He called Oprah a pig and says Obama is a closet Muslim. And Claire goes to his birthday party? Yuck.

3. She sure isnt the same fiery woman I watched campaigning for Obama
DC ($$) always seems to get the better of people after they've been there too long.

4. Her constituency...
...is now the other 99 senators, plain and simple. And she's reflecting the views of her constituents.

Just another excuse for selling out.

12. Are you telling me that senators...
..aren't motivated primarily by a desire to be well-regarded by the other senators?

Or that that this is a bad thing?

Because I agree with you on the second, but don't see how it's possible to refute the first.

And maybe to toss out so called "conventional wisdom."


Can you do it?


I'm also saying that you're incorrect- based on facts.

7. Sen McCaskill is my Senator..................
but I'm very often disturbed when she does her Feinstein/Landrieu impersonations.

Is she or isn't she a DINO?

9. It's hard to tell
I feel your pain.

But hey anytime you want to trade, you can have both Brownback and Roberts if you give me Claire. :)

10. i'm sure she won't be the only one...
Edited on Mon Jul-13-09 12:48 AM by humanahumana
it has been my experience that none of the leaders want anything to do with investigating law breaking of the prior admin... i think it has something to do with being part of a privileged & protected class which has been around since the dawn of civilization so i don't hold out much hope but fingers-crossed nonetheless ;)

14. I'll believe it when I hear her say it directly to the press, not off of a tweet.
