47. I think someone should challenge him to change his vote on Free Choice Act...
See if now that he's a Democrat, he has the "freedom" to switch his choice to empower labor and the working class of America. It would be a perfect opportunity for him to help "justify" his move to the Democrats, if it offers him more "freedom" to work for most Americans rather than the narrow constituency of the Republican Party now.

If he DOESN'T switch his gears to support the Employee Free Choice Act, we then will know that this is a sham so that the corporatists can preserve someone like him in power rather than have him lose the next election against a *real* "new" (and progressive) Democrat.

We need to put pressure on him on issues like this and others he sided with the corporatist Republicans on, to see if he's still a corporate politician or if now being with the Democrats gives him more freedom to work more progressively. I'm hoping for the latter, but most of all I think its important for America to know NOW where he really stands!
