Critical thinking.... Nancy Pelosi is telling folks to say they support something she will block from even coming to the floor. If a Democrat is serious about drilling they will come out and say they are not voting for Pelosi as speaker and they should reveal who they will vote for as speaker. Pelosi is using Southern Democrats to increase her power to prevent drilling by increasing the number of votes she has for Dictator of the House, while telling them to lie to their constiuents.
like I said if you truly support drilling you would not vote Nancy Pelosi as Dictator of the House.
You hear me... Bright? you hear me... Segall? you hear me.. Griffith? You are liars and frauds if you say you support drilling and vote Nancy Pelosi dictator of the house.

Artur Davis contemplates a run for Alabama governor in 2010...

Artur Davis is a good congressmen who has done a good job representing the district in the state of Alabama that represents a majority of African-Americans. African-Americans are the last remaining reliable Democrat voting group in the state. I do not think Artur would be able to compete across the state because he would have run against his own record in congress. Artur however faces limited potential in the state... no matter what statewide election he engages in he will face a tough battle ... whether that is Governor or Senator... so to Artur Davis I say go for it and best of luck, but I do not like your chances...

Jack Hawkins for Governor of Alabama sounds interesting

I like the idea of a candidate from outside of politics. I think the Republicans have a very strong field for 2010. Artur Davis would be an interesting candidate for the Democrats, but I am sure he has been in lock step with Nancy Pelosi in Washington and that would hurt him.
