Open Left

Will this free Arlen to be Arlen?

I just threw up a little in my mouth. Maybe he will moderate himself now that he doesn't need to appease a right wing base.  Josh Marshall has an interesting take on the EFCA stuff:"The real issue I suspect will be cloture. Labor support in Pennsylvania has always been critical for Specter. And this won't go down well at all. But his wiggle room will be cloture. If he will vote for cloture and let EFCA come to a straight majority vote, I suspect labor supporters will hold their nose and throw in their grudging support."http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/.

I sympathize with Chris on being hosed.

I live in a true blue state--I will have a choice in November
