who lost the House by coddling the Blue Dogs on his watch as DNC chair?

Kaine is little better than a Republican most days, but is still miles better than George Allen.

But he just gave ammunition to a man who almost had an empty gun!

Kaine must be taking lessons from Rmoney...take foot A, and stick in mouth B!

but what good will it do when he bolts on key votes?

For 2014 and 2016 we need a new strategy to start putting progressives in place of the Blue Dogs.

This is not going to hurt him in Virginia...if anything it might help him a tad...

He qualified it pretty heavily....I really don't think this is all that big a deal.

He's a good guy and a loyal Democrat...Dems have done well here by appearing to take the other side seriously...whether they do or not.
