It is time for a president AND a congress who are willing and able to act.
No more turncoats!

I started a petition when I saw Rachel’s show on the 19th. These Conservadems have got me fired up! If you agree, please sign the petition. I am going to send copies to each senator once I get a solid number of signatures.

That is why 2012 will be more than revealing. The bubble is such that now, they don’t want to hear that they have the wrong string on the wrong yo-yo, from anyone but those who agree with them. They aren’t accepting emails from their Constituents only. The days of buying elections and stealing votes are over, in some places, but they haven’t received the memo.

Gregg, thanks for this. I missed the show. Jane was terrific, as per usual.

Hamsher was great on Maddow. I love her. I love them both. With people like this on our side, how can we lose. I’m feeling very positive about this plan. I love this plan. Let’s do it.

I think I can shed some light on this from Indiana. This group could make the Republicans totally irrelevant while securing reelection for themselves. If the white house budget asks for 3.2 trillion budget and the dems fight back on all fronts and since the media even Fox will eat it up, if Democrats dominate the news… and then they finally end up with a compromise of 3.1 trillion dollar budget haven’t the conservative Democrats and President Obama just made the Republicans totally irrelevant?! I believe so, and I know that Bayh will be re-elected having shown his state what they want him to show them. Evan Bayh became our 32 year old Secretary of State and then became Governor for 8 years before becoming Senator 1998. All of these elections made him the 1st Democrat in those spots for years and years. Yes, our state voted for Obama and we literally screamed with excitement election night, BUT I can tell you that Indiana voted for a Democrat for the first time in 44 years because John McCain wasn’t conservative enough for the majority of our voters so they didn’t vote. And fortunately, for the 1st time our candidate spent time and money here apparently realizing that Republicans weren’t going to vote for McCain. It is amazing to all of us that everyone in the state keeps re-electing Senator Bayh but if he is not on the ballot in 2010 we will lose his seat to a Republican. Maybe things will change after the 2010 cycle if the dems can gain some seats but until then my Senator has to buck his party and I imagine it is the same for the others in this group. Look at our congressional maps and congressmen and you will see what I mean. Slide us through until we can redistrict this country after the census and we will all have a better chance of being represented by Democrats. If and when we have a bigger majority there will be bigger changes!

You are right. Fell a good distance from the tree, and would not want them confused.

Let’s make it clear that that was the DAD Senator Bayh [Birch Bayh], not the current tea bag son.

Obama would, when so confronted, gain special appreciation for Chuck Todd.

I’m longing for an Obama press conference where the “press” is the DFH bloggers.

I don’t think Rahm would be at the back of the room smirking at that.
