1. good point....

I don't see the Quarterback from NC that Rahm went after like a school girl going after the, well, quarterback...

[BR_Parkway]

21. Nope, not surprised - but even our toe the line Repug Senator Burr made the right

vote at the end. Guess I need to call his office Monday and thank him for doing something right for once - seems only fair

[Duke Newcombe]

2. And there are many missing Blue Dogs in that list...

like my worthless rep. This proves nothing, IMHO.

[butterfly77]

20. Yes..

they can all still KISS MY ASS!!!:dem:

[bluestateguy]

3. I'd qualify a lot of those names

Arcuri, Carney, Dahlkemper, Hill, Kratovil, Melancon, Minnick, Mitchell, Murphy, Pomeroy, Salazar, Nye and Wilson all lost.

Gordon and Moore are retiring.

So they all get a political freebie in not having to face their red district voters ever again.

On the other hand, 77% of voters favored repeal. That's the level of support you need from the public to even have a chance of getting he Blue Dogs to vote with you.

4. Melancon didn't run for re-election to the House. He ran against Vitter for the Senate.

[bluestateguy]

5. As I said, he lost

I only noted that those particular people lost. I did not specify if it was a reelection race or a race for higher office.

[PBS Poll-435]

6. But you did specify "district"

Oh well, let's just be grateful that DADT is soon to be history.

[pinboy3niner]

7. Yes, time to celebrate

I was hoping for a little of your haiku. I enjoyed the last ones--but, apparently, your haiku gets threads locked. :)

[PBS Poll-435]

12. Ode to locked threads

Like Circuit City,
Zipped up like denim blue jeans,
Laughter is good here!

[LiberalFighter]

8. You forgot Ellsworth.

[Bluenorthwest]

9. How many voted against it?

Because about half of that list is leaving the Congress. So how many Blue Dawgs voted against repeal?

[DonCoquixote]

10. How did mary Landrieu vote

Miss saint of the oil spill

[MiniMe]

18. All the dems in the Senate voted for the bill

Even the Nelson boys.

[stray cat]

11. It is amazing how many progressives prefer to lose rather than work with others on mutual goals

What is so great about being a party of one?

[TheKentuckian]

14. It isn't the working with part that is the catch but what must be sacrificed to get

them to go along with supposedly "shared goals".

See, if you have to horse trade and beg to get support then it is reasonably safe to assume that goals aren't so very shared at all.

Talk to me when we're talking about the money and I'll be happy to reevaluate.

[rhett o rick]

17. How many exactly? And your response doest apply to the OP. What is your agenda? nm

[Puregonzo1188]

13. Well good--My rep finally did something useful.

[me b zola]

15. I really hate revisionist history

And this particular brand is pretty freaking offensive. Ugh.

[NNN0LHI]

16. Rec because I would rather have a Dem voting with us some of the time than a Rethug who never does

Not really all that complicated. Though a lot of people seem to be unable to wrap their minds around something as simple as that. But then Bush once had a +90% approval rating so I guess it is not too surprising that we have our share of goof balls.

19. Which Moore?
