Bernie won't go to the Capitol gym.

This is where many of the deals are made between the Senators according to a radio report today. He prefers to have coffee in the basement with the interns and clerical staff. He prefers their company.

Even though he obviously does. Now he is described as the one senator who is letting us get railroaded.
Sigh.

Thanks a lot, Bernie! Had you made a few visits to the gym, maybe we wouldn't have Citizens United!

as you guys have done a great job. I agree, if some negative 'spin' can be found, it will be.
