1. Thanks for taking the temp down a notch

Two is much better than five. The media would run with the five, two not so much.

10. Hmmm.... it might be four or five

From Twitter (has no source link to back up the claim) :

Dems Voting Yes On Holder Contempt: Jim Matheson Utah / Collin Peterson Minn / John Barrow Ga / Nick Rahall W.V. / Mike McIntyre N.C.

From Washington Post:

At least four House Democrats plan to vote with Republicans to hold Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. in contempt of Congress and dozens more may join them, potentially undercutting the Obama administration’s argument that the vote is an election-year ploy by Republicans.

The four Democrats — John Barrow (Ga.), Nick Rahall (W. Va.), Collin Peterson (Minn.) and Jim Matheson (Utah) — maintain generally moderate voting records and face challenging reelection campaigns in moderate- or Republican-leaning districts.

2. Wholly-owned subsidiaries of the NRA?

I saw a report on MSNBC tonight that said that was what was motivating far too many congresspeople - the NRA is watching closely and taking note - and letting them know. And wooooooooooooo... they're AFRAID!!!!

is spineless, but I'm not too excited over a meaningless vote on a meaningless issue. Nothing bad will happen to Holder.

It's as if there's a virus there. Is that happening to anybody else?
