Watching Tweety play Hardball with Ed Schultz is quite amusing.

Ed clearly wasn't expecting to be put on the spot like that and called out on his super-progressive positions.

He looked scared shitless.

1. Ed did very well

He had a quick answer for every question. Even about what blue dogs ought to do about health care. Clearly.

2. I don't agree with him that voting for the public option will guarantee blue-dog reelections. nt

3. He said they shouldn't be on the wrong side of history

He said that there are people dying in Arkansas, too, because they have no health care.

If they don't go along with the president, they can probably kiss help from the White House and the Party in general goodbye. There's truth in what Ed said about which side of the fence they need to choose.

I don't recall him saying that voting for health care will guarantee anything. But I believe that not voting for it will seal their fate.
