I will never forget the kind and supportive words my grandfather gave Al Capone and his organization. He paid them the ultimate compliment, friend of the working man. He also said one could walk up to Big Al and explain you were short that week and he would open his wallet.

Anyway LA is like ID and WV, Obama could not outpoll death in any of those states. It also helps that Obamas refusal to issue drilling leases cause thousands of jobs.

This move is so absurdly transparent and unlikely to work vis-é -vis Landrieu’s seat that I have to believe something else is afoot.
I think Dems know that the KXL bill is coming, and that it will pass. It will also pass with a veto-proof majority. The bill is being passed now by Democrats so that it cannot be passed later by Republicans. This gives two benefits:

1) It deprives Republicans of a victory. Self-explanatory.
2) It allows Democrats to use deferential language in the law, giving Obama the option to implement it. Of course, he won’t.
If Republicans passed the bill, it could be loaded with hard deadlines and kill switches. It could be crafted as a virtual straitjacket for Obama that he couldn’t wiggle out of.

Dems don’t want to see #2 happen.

The messiah has long been beyond the constraints of law. So hit him again, and again, and again until knuckles are swollen and bloody; once he is down deliver a dozen kicks to the head. Its the American way, or at least it once was. No more fists of steel inside velvet gloves, take the gloves off and deploy steely fists as necessary.

If your opponent is reeling, you don’t wait until he recovers to hit him again.

As long as it is within the law.

Our daughter and her family live in Chicago, and thus I have become acquainted with the Chicago way. They stay because they truly like their jobs, and like their neighborhood, Andersonville. I get it, its a nice neighborhood close to the lake and for Chicago, very safe, but I wish they would make the effort to find enjoyable work outside the boundaries of Cook County. The advice of mom and dad has a limit and an expiration date. We visit frequently and have a great time when we are there, but the sinister nature of the machine is there just below the surface even the nicest of neighborhoods.

I seem to recall that Obama received more votes than registered voters in one Philadelphia precinct in 2012. So getting 150% of the Black votes may not be such a stretch after all. Here in Illinois, Cook County routinely “finds” all kinds of Dem votes.

Meanwhile, via Twitter we learn that ABC, CBS and NBC evening news all had nothing on Gruber last night. John Edwards was right: there really are two Americas, and one of them has no idea what is going on, because it depends on “journalists” whose job it is to blockade the news so that unhelpful facts don’t leak through.

kaba and parker have the right of it, 16 pt lead for Cassidy and Obama will veto it. She’s history, it’s a Hail Mary pass.
