The "progressive" dissidents making an alliance with Republicans like Gene "global warming is just a hoax" Ward and Kimberly "fry all criminals" Pine and Colleen "union thugs are the bane of society" Meyer is not only surreal, it's hilarious. That coalition would last about as long as the lifespan of a housefly. Politics not only makes strange bedfellows, it’s just strange.

A curious move on the last day, Bold, to be sure. De-stabilizing for the interim, but I guess that's the point. "Everything in" for the primaries this fall. Is there an estimated time for the floorfight? Oh my goodness!

A curious move on the last day, Bold, to be sure. De-stabilizing for the interim, but I guess that’s the point. “Everything in” for the primaries this fall.

Is there an estimated time for the floorfight?

Perhaps with a new leadership team in the House, Democrats might finally have the courage to do something for this state, instead of continuing to bury any controversial issues and shy away from real solutions. With a shrinking economy, skyrocketing housing, soaring healthcare costs and all sorts of other serious problems, maybe we'll finally have some serious solutions instead of cheap band-aid fixes. What a joke these past two years have been. Imagine what the Legislature could have actually accomplished if its leaders weren't so focused on their friends' special-interest bills and worrying about protecting their own seats in power. What a waste this year has been. How interesting.

Clearly, there is growing discontent with the leadership team in the House so if the current leadership survives, it will need to address the concerns that led to this revolt. If they deal with it like they did the last time, they will likely fall after the election, in my opinion. However, if the dissidents succeed, the vote margin will be so razor thin that it won't be all that difficult for Say and his supporters to oust the dissidents.
