Senator Coons blasts republicans over Cordray filibuster and general assholishness

In refreshingly honest and direct language, Senator Chris Coons blasted the GOP for blocking the appointment of Richard Cordray, President Obama's pick to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Agency. In an interview on the liberal leaning Bill Press show, Coons stated, "I think he should have been confirmed and again it is just part of a theme here. Filibuster, filibuster filibuster. We can't even get to a vote on important nominations." Coons called into the interview this morning while commuting to Washington on Amtrak.

Rush Limbaugh is right about one thing

I watched a little of the Republican debate and I hate to admit it, but Rush Limbaugh is right when he says that Gingrich could give Obama more of a race than Romney. Romney leaves everybody flat. Newt is full of zingers and is always spoiling for a fight. Newt could win the moderates who say things like, "I don't agree with him on much, but the guy has moxie." or "I just like him."

John Carney: To be a Democrat, or a second rate Tom Carper? That is the question.

We already have a guy who has pissed away his career cravenly sucking up to Republicans and corporations, do we really need another? Delaware would love an actual Democrat right now. You could be a hero, or second rate Tom Carper. From a "what is right" perspective, as well as a strategic perspective, this seems like a no brainer to me. The only problem is, with your current "bi-partisanship rulz!" PR campaign going on, I fear you've already made the wrong choice.
