President Obama acting like, and saying the same stupid crap as, Mark Udall is a good way to betray Democratic voters and lose the next election, or in Obama's case, throwing the House and Senate back to the R's for a generation:
Mark Udall has said he'd gladly lose his job over a vote for Simpson-Bowles and its irrational and unneeded cuts to our safety net. Mark, please uphold your word on this - tomorrow if possible. But before you quit politics, tell the president about Blue Dog Dems in Colorado. Tell him about the ignominious losers John Salazar and Betsy Markey. Tell him John was so afraid to stand up for principle he once tried to have us believe he wasn't really a Democrat. He was voted out of office the next election.
Here's the latest Obama ad that may have some discernable hints regarding the Grand Bargain:
Senator Udall, please tell President Obama a Blue Dog Dem is a Losing Dem in Colorado. It's the least you can do.
