1. Kick for the Dem trend.

We can win this whole thing if we stay focused, and smart.

[Kdillard]

2. Good news.

[Nancy Waterman]

3. Then Sheldon Whitehouse can be the next Supreme Court pick

The Senate never votes against one of their own and he would be absolutely superb!!

4. Ooh...I like this idea!

Sheldon would be a great pick.

[Chemical Bill]

5. Yeah, but that Democrat is anti-union.

The DINOs in the State House here just passed more tax cuts for the rich and more funding cuts for education etc. Oh, and they gave the cities the green light to raise property taxes and excise (car) taxes, while crowing about how THEY didn't raise taxes. This state is weird.

6. I'd find it hard to vote against Linc Chafee if I lived in RI.

[Chemical Bill]

7. He wants a 1% sales tax on food, medicine, and clothing...

but that's not the worst proposal out there so I may vote for him in spite of his tax proposal.
