...unless it's my middle finger.
I wouldn't pee on her house if it were on fire.
She just claimed on TV that her vote "isn't for sale."
Bullfuckingshit.
I bet her Derivatives legislation goes out of Fin Reg tomorrow.
There is NO way she wins in November and everyone knows it. It's time to manage our resources and let this seat go.
Congratulate her on her win and let her march off into the meat grinder that will be November.
The Democratic Caucus in the Senate will be much better for it.
DO NOT donate to the DSCC. Do NOT waste a cent. Don't waste a second for her calling people.
I hope Unions pull their support for her and tell their people to stay home. No way they can save face and support her after all the "evil outside unions" shit. I will lose all respect for unions if they turn around and support her.
The message now needs to be that Dems can't win without Union support. PERIOD.
The bridges are burned and we need to let the seat go. Best to try to offset it elsewhere by winning unexpectedly in Nevada.
PS. I don't blame Obama or Clinton for Lincoln's win. Obviously, their support was in exchange for her HCR vote and Obama noticably dropped away in the last week when everyone thought she would lose. That's how you twist arms and get a crucial vote. Yes, she helped kill the PO which is unforgivable but we did still end up with the foundation for health care reform.
In my mind, sacrificing a Senate seat in November is a worthy trade. The foundation of HCR is set forever, to be expanded on in the future while Boozeman will hold the seat for 6 years.
Regroup in 6 years and field a REAL dem to take it back.
I don't care if anyone HR's me for this diary. There's no way she'll win and we'll be a better caucus without her.
UPDATE: Lincoln WILL lose this race. Probably badly. Thus, arguments saying that she'll be 85% for Dems versus 0% if Boozeman takes the seat are worthless since there is no way she'll win. Yes, if she voted 85% for Dems, that would be worthwhile but she won't win so that's a non-starter. We can salvage this fact by making this a statement to other wavering Centrist "Dems."
