UPDATE: If you want to see the news videos about the President's media blitz to explain and sell health care reform, I've parked that large post over at Dennys Global Politics. For the link, (6 Videos: President Obamas Media Blitz to Sell Health Care Reform) go here.
From Denny: Actually, my Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu is supporting the public option for health care. Blue Dogs are a Catch-22 for the Democratic Party.
The Blue Dogs are the only thing that have breathed life into the Democratic Party in the South and other parts of the country during the Bush years of domination. They have managed to keep a fingernail-scratching-slipping-almost-hold on seats for the Democrats.
The tide is beginning to turn in the South as more and more middle class people have finally figured out they were lied to and cheated by the Republicans they voted into power. Right now, many are not quite willing to become Democrats but have been changing their voting status to Independent like one third of the nation. If the Democrats ever get their act together they will win back the South.
This is a controversial cartoon...
