With all the news coming out last week about Bill Clinton attempting to get Joe Sestak out of the Pennsylvania Senate race to give our nomination up there to a Republican, Arlen Specter it brings a few thoughts into my mind. First, thank God that the Democrats in Pennsylvania had more sense than Bill Clinton. Next, in this time in our country's history we need MORE Progressives in our party and their voices need to be heard, not stifled. Lastly, it is time our party moved on from the Clinton era.
While many were celebrating the historical nature of the House vote there are also reasons for real Democrats to temper celebration. Of course, we all know the ripping the House version, which actually did include some good things will get in the "House of Lords" we all know as the U.S. Senate. Of course, we know that we actually have a paltry majority in the Senate or quite possibly still a Republican majority, but the House Healthcare vote should give us a sobering reminder of just how small of a majority we have in the House.
