So, some people do like bloggers!Gabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313270027747810794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1168115522830924862007-01-06T15:32:00.000-05:002007-01-06T15:32:00.000-05:00I don't think Joe has a problem and the Dems do ne...I don't think Joe has a problem and the Dems do need him. Their majority is not that big and as stated by Reid that on many things they are going to need a 60 count vote. So without Joe on somethings your are looking at a 59 not go on it. Unless you think they will get 10 Republicians to vote, but I think they will ask Joe first, since he said he will go with the Dems caucus and it might be easier then crossing the aisle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1168115798062545192007-01-06T15:36:00.000-05:002007-01-06T15:36:00.000-05:00I apoligize, I wasn't trying to say you were disre...I apoligize, I wasn't trying to say you were disrespectful of him. I tried to communcate that with the line, not knowing this blog, but I have seen on other blogs. I guess I was trying to communicate how people don't like bloggers on all sides, but I guess I failed at that. I didn't say, I believe that I thought Joe's reaction wasn't correct either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943800734145640279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1168106040328950562007-01-06T12:54:00.000-05:002007-01-06T12:54:00.000-05:00Smoking Joe is in trouble.

I just heard you on Colin's show, well. Let's see you expect him to act all nice and forgiving to people who slamed him during the election (of course that's election politics and is expected) and are still slaming him after he was elected. I'm not sure if this blog has done it, but I still see blogs that call him LIEberman and say here he goes again. Makes me wonder who really is over who. Tell me, are we going to have six years of this and if it was you getting slamed all the time, would you feel that forgiving?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1168026230191168912007-01-05T14:43:00.000-05:002007-01-05T14:43:00.000-05:00Maura: FYI, "corporate lobbyists" also bought and ...Maura: FYI, "corporate lobbyists" also bought and paid for the coronation party held in honor of Speaker Nancy Pelosi.CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856834336299603655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1168025026734942932007-01-05T14:23:00.000-05:002007-01-05T14:23:00.000-05:00I'd love to hear more about the CT Democratic Dele...I'd love to hear more about the CT Democratic Delegation party!!!
