John Edwards is technically running against Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, but my concern is that he is also running against his own voting record as a US Senator. This is a man who now regrets almost every key vote he took in the Senate. Apparently he was for a lot of things before he was against them. That leads me to one of two conclusions - either Edwards had spectacularly bad judgment as a Senator, which he now is apologizing for, or Edwards abandoned what he knew to be true as a Senator, and voted (on huge issues) based on politics and not principle.

No reason to celebrate this one... We know that Republicans failed to pass a federal budget for the current fiscal year - FY 2007. But the Democrats response is just as appalling. In early January, they plan to quickly pass a bill keeping spending levels for the rest of fiscal year 2007 (through September 30, 2007) at last year's (fiscal year 2006) levels.

So - Democrats have done in two months what Republicans couldn't do in 12 years - hold spending level from one year to the next. And they're patting eachother on the back over it. Sounds nice and fiscally responsible. However, it's going to be unprecedented and devastating.
