-- by Dave Johnson
Half of the "Democrats" in the Senate voted to condemn MoveOn today. They are afraid that Rush Limbaugh might say something bad about them.
I'm a member of MoveOn, so they were voting to condemn ME.
The GOP-introduced resolution condemning MoveOn just passed by a huge margin, 72-25. Roughly half the Democrats in the Senate supported it.The list of "Democrats" requiring progressive primary opponents the next time they are up for re-election follows:A couple of the more interesting votes: Jim Webb, who just yesterday was a Netroots hero, voted for it, even though the last thing he needs as a military guy is cover on something like this.
Meanwhile, Hillary -- who's been under assault by Rudy for refusing to condemn MoveOn but who's also locked in a tough Dem primary -- stood her ground and voted No.
