I really dislike Chuck Todd. He is a big fat zero.

Maybe the GOP caught wind and ratfucked Franken before we could unveil our attack.

Maybe Franken was the sacrificial lamb. Our campaign would fail if the GOP could point at him and say, your hands aren't very clean, are they?

Obviously conjecture. But this was politics and nothing else. Dirty, dirty politics.

Republicans don't say things once and expect a result. They say it again and again and again. Over time, it makes a difference. This is a start. I'm glad to see it.

We need to demand that all our representatives start saying it.....over and over and over.

I'm encouraged to see a democrat with a spine. Today has been a very disappointing day.
