1. Time to take it to the turncoats

Count me in on that for some $$$ and some time.

[MNBrewer]

2. but, but... Evan Bayh is the future of the Democratic party, right?

I'm so confused. is he a Republican? geez.....

[pauldg0]

3. I think........

....now some liberal minded republicans will start coming out of the woodwork soon too; take for example our friend Arnold Schwartzeneger from California.

Maybe he could gather together an equal amount of liberal minded senators and representatives across the country who haven't been bold enough to speak up yet.

Do you think Obama has a few tricks up his sleeve too? He's pretty sharp!!

[chill_wind]

4. "Conservadems". That's good. K & R.

[Mojorabbit]

5. She is donig great things

and I am glad Rachel had her on. I am ready for some major pushback.

[rhymeandreason]

6. I prefer the coinage "ConservacRats"

myself.

7. Evan - Let The Air Out of the Balloon Bayh. I despise that traitor and his sinister band of

corporate push overs - sounds like it's all greed to me. Republicans are not popular anywhere except within the Democratic Party. Does Bayh get more than Leiberman? What does Landrieau take in. Why didn't they just run as Republicans. Expose them. We won and then we lost because of these turncoats.

[pauldg0]

8. When are they up for re-election......

...I think if we expose their greed to their constituents with mass advertising, we can take them down for more liberal democrats.....lets get going!!

[peacetalksforall]

10. I would really like to know what kind of information is passed between DLC members.

[pauldg0]

9. I thought he was a little fishy..............

......he has that swagger like conservative crud that he has proven to be.

I bet you Obama knew this all along.

[burning rain]

11. Bob Casey, Jr.'s a real turd to join that little caucus.

He doesn't need to tack right to get reelected; Pennsylvania's deep blue at the state level and he has a famous name. Dick.

[ccpayd]

14. this needs to stop NOW

Casey did not beat Santorum by going far left. That said, PA is moving left. Specter is DOA no matter how "centrist" he presents himself. If Casey thinks change is replacing a center R senator with a center D senator HE IS WRONG. I like the guy and the family... but even here in southcentral PA we are ready for a new politics. if you can't lead ~ choose not to follow ~ then get the f out the way.

[lonestarnot]

12. That disgusting little group of scabs need to be picked.

[tomm2thumbs]

13. Bayh don't like to play nice-nice with others

I guess some nasty secrets about Bayh are going to have to come out before he gets nervous and turns tail and runs.

Hmmmm

18. Jane Hamsher does good work at emptywheel.firedoglake.com

BUT... Does it seem odd to anyone else that Rachel chose Jane Hamsher to address the ConservaDem Issue? :shrug:

Given that Jane Hamsher was one of the bloggers that gave Governor Paterson the cover he needed to hand ConservaDem Kirsten Gilibrand a Senate Seat.
