Harry Reid's Mixed Messages on Baucus Health Care Proposal

Wed Sep 16 — 9:24pm

As you know, the NRSC has for months pointed out Harry Reid’s pattern of saying one thing back home in Nevada versus something completely different back in Washington.

However, rarely, if ever, have we seen this as clearly as today.

In case you missed it, Senator Reid apparently issued two different press statements today regarding the Baucus health care proposal - with seemingly contrary messages -- one to Nevada reporters and one far different to the national press corps. Please see for yourself ...

More bad news for Michael Bennet

Wed Sep 16 — 12:39pm

It's rapidly shaping up to be a bad week Senator Michael Bennet.....

First, this is probably not the type of press the appointed Senator from Colorado would like to see on the same day its formally announced that he will be facing a very serious primary challenge from the former CO State House Speaker.......

Unfortunately, it gets worse - note what Gov. Ritter says about his appointment of Sen. Bennet......

Between Specter and Bennet, it seems those Senate Democrat leaders who have endorsed them are going to have their hands full this cycle.

Tuesday Round-up

Tue Sep 15 — 2:10pm

Yesterday's bi-partisan vote to block  the controversial group ACRORN from receiving HUD funding saw New York Senator's Schumer and Gillibrand with opposing votes. The Politico has a great piece on how even liberal Senator Schumer saw issue with funding, while Gillibrand seems concerned only with playing to the far-left base.

The Hill reports that the Colorado Senate race has quickly gotten rocky for Senator Bennet.

Despite President Obama's speech last week, a new USA Today/Gallup poll shows his speech "failed to galvinize public opinion the way the White House had hoped."

Sen. Cornyn on Meet the Press

Mon Sep 14 — 1:53pm

Yesterday, Senator Cornyn appeared on NBC’s Meet The Press to discuss health care on a panel with Newt Gingrich, Dick Durbin,and Howard Dean. Todd Gilman of the Dallas Morning News reports: Texas Sen. John Cornyn argued this morning on NBC's "Meet the Press" against an "ideological fixation on the public option" - the boogeyman in the health care debate. Even if it were a good idea to let the federal government provide health care in competition with private insurers, Cornyn said, such a mechanism would alter the marketplace and force out private insurers - forcing millions of Americans to lose the coverage they want."The president can't keep his promise that if you like what you like nowthat you can keep if, with a public option," he said. Cornyn, chairman of the Republican's senatorial campaign committee, held down the Republican side of MTP's health care debate with Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker. Democrats were represented by Sen. Dick Durbin, the party's No 2 Senate leader,and Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor and ex-chairman of the party.
