I think it's more than just the fact that there is a 60-Senator vote majority. The larger problem is that the Democrats still don't stand for anything. They have no core principles to argue in front of the American people. Or at least, they don't have a core principle brand. Because I do think they have core principles. Just not well-articulated and communicated core principles. While everyone points at the 60-vote majority as a blocking point, if Democrats had core principles to pressure Republicans with, I believe they would succeed. This is why it's so important for them to take some stands and use the opportunity to explain why. As you and others have pointed out, they're going to get called weak anyways? So what's there to lose? Best Dave Chris,

Personally, I think it's a sign of desperation from the Clinton camp... Seems to me to be really nit-picky.. If ALL Clinton has against Obama is that he didn't credit someone with a line or two here or there... Jeeesh, she must really be on the ropes... Michale..... So, what ya'all think of Plager-gate???
