for voting with the Republicans. Should we take back the Senate, they'll do a 180 when they find him voting with the Democrats. Or they could expect him to keep with their "interests" (whatever they think a Democrat is supposed to stand for, overall) and punish him. I can't keep up with the gymnastics. I have no idea what red states expect from their Democratic reps.
