In just a few weeks, the movement to counter the Tea Party Movement has grown from an idea of a few progressive friends sitting around talking to 28,000 members and chapters in major cities across the country.

If you haven't heard about the Coffee Party Movement, its premise is that government is not the enemy of the people, but rather the collective will of the people, and that our elected representatives should serve us and not lobbyists.

The $15 billion jobs bill that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid drafted cleared a procedural hurdle just now on a 62-30 vote, with five Republicans voting with the Democratic majority.

One Democrat, Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson, voted no on the cloture motion.

The five Republicans voting with Democrats: the Senate's newest member, Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown; Maine Republicans Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins; Ohio Republican George Voinovich; and Missouri Republican Kit Bond. (Both Voinovich and Bond are retiring.)

But Reid could not hold his entire caucus, as Nelson voted against moving the bill to the next stage of debate and amendments.

New Jersey Democrat Frank Lautenberg was not present to vote due to illness.

As you all know, there is an open Senate seat in Missouri in 2010 with Republican Kit Bond retiring.

The race will be between Robin Carnahan, Missouri Secretary of State, member of the Carnahan family, versus Congressman Roy Blunt.

Yesterday I wrote about Bill White, a Democrat who has a very realistic shot of winning the Governor's race in Texas in November.

Now that the primary and early voting has begun, we can now start turning our attention to November.

I realize that the pundits, the corporate media, the lobbyists, and the fat cat Repugs have written us off this year, but you know what?

It ain't over until the Donkey sings.

When we Texans aren't contemplating whether Jesus rode dinosaurs, we are actually covertly rebuilding the Democratic party.

In 2008, we came within one vote of taking back the Texas house, and we have a really good candidate for Governor.

There are actual Democrats actually running for office and some of them are doing pretty well.
