1. One more step in the long, ugly process, with others to follow....

Nothing wrong with enjoying the good moments, though.

2. I think the man has a pair of huge ones and will forge on ahead....
It will force the Dems to change their tune.

It will weaken the Repugnicans somewhat.

It will mobilize all of us to get more active.

4. Beaten up by the deliberately forgetful MSM
Grayson was on CNN earlier today and its obvious the MSM hates what he did.

They had the temerity to ask him why he thought attacking the Republicans would "improve the dialog", which after the Obama as Hitler tea parties they covered non stop for nearly two months shows which side they are on.

Even James "Mr. Mary Matlin" Carville seemed upset that a Democrat would dare to speak ill of the Republicans.

5. I saw that, and found it utterly bizarre as well as criminally dishonest.
The media should be ashamed of themselves - but they are incapable of that. At this point, I hold higher regard for my dogs' movements than for the vast majority of the media.

8. Great minds think alike! I just made a post like that.
Actually, our two chocolate labs have IQs that I would suspect are significantly higher than much of what passes for the media these days.

6. He's Repelling The Media Like Water Off A Duck
This is great stuff. Never underestimate a nice Jewish boy from the Bronx.

11. Bumped
The MSM will not move Grayson. He has largely self-funded his campaigns. His statements were not made in the heat of an argument, they were considered for effect before he made them. This man is not one you can threaten bogus offense and concern for "decorum", particularly, from those who have shown no sense for it themselves. He is a scrapper.

There are several moderately high ranking local repugs lining up to take Grayson on in 2010. However, I think he knows what he is doing and what his base wants. His ads indicated that he had every intent of shaking things up and would work to end "no-bid" contracting and put defense fraudsters in jail. He won and is just delivering as promised. I expect he will have the job for as long as he cares to keep it.
