Hmmm. Should be interesting to watch the gop handle this, or will they? Rock/hard place here.

DeMint Takes Aim at Party Insiders

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), writing in the Wall Street Journal: "Congratulations to all the tea party-backed candidates who overcame a determined, partisan opposition to win their elections. The next campaign begins today. Because you must now overcome determined party insiders if this nation is going to be spared from fiscal disaster."

"Many of the people who will be welcoming the new class of Senate conservatives to Washington never wanted you here in the first place. The establishment is much more likely to try to buy off your votes than to buy into your limited-government philosophy. Consider what former GOP senator-turned-lobbyist Trent Lott told the Washington Post earlier this year: 'As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them.'"

1. Oh, co-opt this

I'm taking the day off.

Right, that's why I'm here on DU at 7:30 a.m. after being up until 3. :(

2. Total gridlock

Thats what we are looking at.
