If the Democrats don't get the youth vote, they're toast. That happened in Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, where young Obama voters stayed home in droves. It's an ugly conceivable future portended by a new Harvard poll that shows forty-one percent of young Republicans planning on voting in November, compared to 35 percent of young Democrats and 13 percent of independents. A recent Pew poll showed a similarly disturbing pattern: Young voters still prefer the Democrats, but their margin is slipping and their enthusiasm level is worse.

I know I have blogged here pretty much against this Senate Health Insurance Reform bill.But the reality of the situation is , this bill as "WATERED DOWN" as it is , needs to pass the House of Representatives....

Democrats in the House must show Political Courage in the face of fierce Republican Partisanship !...Republicans will never grant president Obama any kind of Legistlative Victory , That is a GIVEN.

Now if House Democrats do pass this legistlation "as is" , the SENATE DEMOCRATS , MUST pass the fixes to this bill via reconciliation !...

Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) "is putting some muscle behind his independent image by twice voting against his own party and questioning the use of the filibuster," CNN reports.

Brown took to the Senate floor "to announce he would vote for cloture, or to end a Republican filibuster, on a bill extending unemployment benefits and tax credits. This, despite the fact he opposes the bill and technically the filibuster helped his cause."

Said Brown: "I have very serious concerns about the overall cost of the bill, but my vote for cloture signals that I believe we need to keep the process moving."

Lloyd Constantine, a former confidant to New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, says in his new book, Journal of the Plague Year: An Insider's Chronicle of Eliot Spitzer's Short and Tragic Reign, that Spitzer "acted irrationally from the moment he arrived -- his time in Albany punctuated by bad decisions, strange outbursts and a lingering sense of shame that could be explained only by the illicit liaisons," according to a review by Ben Smith.

Writes Constantine: "The secret things Eliot had been doing and [the] certainty that Eliot understood that they inevitably would come to light and bring him down, and all of us with him, had been steadily dripping venom into his mind."

This altered personality transformed "the brilliant, dedicated and decisive man I had known and loved for more than a quarter century" into someone he called "the Imposter."

Ezra Klein explains why he isn't paying much attention to the flurry of announcements by members of Congress in the run-up to the vote on health care reform.

"To a degree that's really under-appreciated, legislators communicate with each other through the press. That's particularly true for the specialized Washington press: The Roll Calls and Congressional Quarterlys and Hills of the world. We read those stories as news articles, but the politicians who are quoted in them are often directing their words at their leadership rather than the publication's lay audience. And that means those comments generally have a couple different meanings."

In case that's not persuasive, The Hotline has their latest House whip count which shows Democrats still don't have the votes.
