Sure they will. I seem to recall all those red-district House Dems that Pelosi recruited to take back the House in 2006. How moderate did that gang turn out to be?

If you decide to get a hat, I recommend you avoid getting one from the Susquehanna Hat Company. Flange on January 19, 2013 at 10:34 AM

I can see them breaking with the WH on guns, because that’s a big redline for so many people. But I can also see them get bribed and threatened into toeing the party line. No Democrat can be trusted to break with their party these days. One more reason not to ever vote for one, no matter how reasonable they appear.

The operative phrase is “may break,” which means there’s not a snowball’s chance they’ll break.

No. They won’t. Am I the only one who remembers the Cornhusker Kickback?

Right. And Bart stupak too and his squishy “gang”. I remember how upset I was that day and the headline on Ace: “Godmotherf****** d***** Nelson caves. ”

The is no such thing as a conservative democrat or a blue dog. At least not in this millineum

So I guess 49% is now “riding high in public opinion polls”.
