Feinstein for VP Watch

Feinstein is going to be voting for the Medicare bill that Kerry is planning to filibuster. Does that bode well or ill for a presidential partnership?

I do not necessarily think so. Feinstein is on Kerry's national steering committee and she was the first big wig to endorse him, so I think we can assume that they have communicated about this. The key thing is that like Kerry, Feinstein is not a party servant. She'll do what she thinks is right, which is what makes her a great VP candidate. Of course, we have to see how things play out.

On thing to note is that Kerry is running for president and so it would make no sense for him to accept this bill, even if he would have voted for it if he was not running for president. The reason is that if he makes it to the presidency, he (a) doesn't want to be stuck with a bad bill (b) he knows he can offer something much, much better.

I say fight on Kerry!


As for the Bills, the fought and faltered yesterday. Valiant effort by the defense but the season is pretty much over. It is clear that O-line talent is needed and a good tightend is needed too. We also need to think about drafting a 2-4 round quarterback for development. I have lost all faith in Bledsoe.
