1. It will be so good to have him back! Floridians -- what do
you think his chances are? Are those who voted for him dismayed by what they really got?

10. You think someone saying something so blatantly idiotic is good? Grayson just spouted empty rhetoric
It's completely meaningless.

3. Unfortunately, its not up to Dem Prez to put together a 'sane' Repug caucus;

'They' won the House in '10. Next time will be different, I expect, but unfortunately we've got to 'dance' with the ones who 'brung' us. (Or go to war with the 'soldiers' we've got.)

Don't understand how Grayson thinks this would be possible. Does he think there are enough sane ones in the House who would 'move' w/o cantor + boner?

4. What power does Obama have to bring these people to heel? Maybe Grayson will explain. He's saavy.

5. Best available read on Obama's power came from Lawrence O'D yesterday.
(Several posts here.) Tho I like Grayson, not sure he's got the 'savvy' I'd like to see/hear.

9. Grayson apparently doesn't know how government works. No wonder he lost.

12. Doesn't Grayson know we have a Republican majority in the House?
And that any bill must be approved by the House, not just the Senate?

Apparently he's been gone for too long.
