Senator Dorgan is a perfect example of Democratic schizophrenia
Everyone was up in arms about Democratic attempts to curb women's rights when the Stupak amendment emerged. The spin: Obama and the Democrats threw women under a bus.

Then Nelson mirrored Stupak in the Senate and Dorgan voted against tabling the amendment (IOW, he voted to allow the bill to proceed).

The amendment was tabled.

Within a day, drug re-importation becomes the issue, and Dorgan is a hero. The spin: Obama doesn't support it.

1. Bob Casey voted for the Nelson amendment too
He's to the left of the President on other issues as well.

3. I think next week you will either see him dressed as Che or a Hippie
He's checking the polling right now.

I hear he was planning on smashing some windows at a WTO protest before the primary.

7. Wouldn't surprise me
If you elect me to a 6th term, I'll tell you all who really killed JFK.

8. If he meant that, I'd have to move to Pennsylvania so I could vote for him

meanwhile - I just can't get the image of Arlen as Che out of my mind. I wish I were talented with Photoshop.
