David Broder peed his pants again in a Washington Post op-ed May 8 saying the Dems should fold on the nuclear option.

His argument goes like this. "Look, you guys, the Republicans really mean it. They're going to end the filibuster. Please, Please, Please, back down, so they won't do it and destroy the Senate."
Broder and the other cozy Beltway pundits like their Democrats beaten down and in the minority.
Democrats actually standing up for what they believe scares them. Anyway it "rocks the boat," and we can't have that now can we?
Broder wants the Democrats to kick the base in the teeth. The Dems have done that during the entire Bush administration, and they have lost two elections because of it.
Now, the Democrats finally are standing for something and the cozy Beltway establishment is scared.
