Second look at No Labels?
This is a big deal. While in past years members of Congress used to interact regularly with members of the opposite party, today members of Congress interact very little with people from the other party — or even members of their own party in the opposite body. Members’ daily lives are dominated by party caucus, policy and fundraising meetings that are focused on winning elections or destroying the opposing party. There isn’t much time left over to actually govern.
But the Problem Solvers can and will seek to change this. In the next year, No Labels’ grass-roots supporters will strive to expand the number of problem solvers, with a goal of recruiting 75 members by year’s end. This could transform how Washington works. And it won’t be long before members start hearing demands from their constituents to join the group. Millions of Americans who have tired of the hyper-partisanship have realized that there is an organized group that can finally give them a voice in our political system. They have gone to NoLabels.org and are telling their friends and neighbors to as well.

Didn’t we already do this one? Nevertheless, first look wasn’t worth it so no second look unless it’s roadkill.

You would think Manchin Huntsman would take the hint that no one is interested in him.

Don’t yo mean third look? I already answered “nope” yesterday. Quit asking.

Second look at “No labels” in the headlines in 24 hours?

Can Huntsman just go away?

For a moment I thought the name was “Machurian Huntsman”. The mind plays tricks
Lot of folk do not know that Warren Buffet is the majority stockholder of the WAPO.
So it is appropriate the WAPO launches the Machurian Huntsman’s new ideal of getting along. Huntsman was a good get-along in the GOP primary for President, at least good enough to get the gig at WAPO. However, he is not a good go-along with conservatives, but maybe that can be fixed

Wouldn’t this be a 4th or 5th look by now?

Don’t be ridic. Huntsman is a boob. He’s a boob’s boob.

OUR NEWS/RADIO ANNOUNCED THAT HE WAS GOING AND HE HOPES HIS HIGH PROFILE WILL STAND HIM IN GOOD STEAD!
OH, I WISH HE WOULD GO AWAY!

More like the 20th look. lol! Take a hint, already!

This can work. Have a left wing and a center left party and have conservatives go up the middle. It’s almost looks like…Britain!
IR-MN on January 14, 2013 at 11:52 AM
Perhaps. But he’s no Bloomberg.

I looked, but I couldn’t find the label.
ToddPA on January 14, 2013 at 12:52 PM
Sure, I want them to work together. To pass conservative legislation. And the other guys, they want the parties to work together to pass liberal legislation.
And that’s where the labels come in.
