House Democrats Who Defend Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Are Mostly Lame Ducks

Posted on December 16 2010 by Congress Watcher

Out of the 15 Democrats who crossed the aisle on the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell repeal, only six have managed to keep their seats. That makes the anti-gay House Democrats a remarkably unsuccessful group.

Southern Blue Dogs Vote Against Jobs Bill

Posted on August 12 2010 by Congress Watcher

The jobs bill passed the House and was signed into law this week, but not without the opposition of three Democrats who joined the GOP in asserting that America’s schoolchildren were a “special interest” that shouldn’t be helped.
