For some reason, the GOP allowed the cameras to roll at their retreat during a question time session with President Obama, and he spent the next hour and a half depantsing them. Pretty funny stuff: Link (the embed killed this site for a while and is now not working) If Mike Pence really is regarded …
I still don’t think this will happen
Campaign Diaries has a pretty good run down of why Harold Ford isn’t really a Democrat and also why he might have a chance against Kirsten Gillibrand in a Democratic primary for the New York State Senate.
