You better believe it! (none / 0)

I didn't realize the show was also streamed on Chris Dodd's campaign website, that's huge.

Good job to everyone involved from TYT, great coverage.

Now I'm slightly dissapointed that we won't get to see Cenk on the air for 96 hours straight :-)

Reid is now sucking up to Dodd (none / 0)

Calls him "one of the most articulated Senator of this body"
and is saying how important this debate is, that it shouldn't be rushed, etc.

Woo-hoo (none / 0)

Way to go TYT. Way to go everyone.

Peace,

PS I called Boxer and was told that she was behind the filibuster. I told her staffer that unless Boxer is on the floor as well, her support means nothing. Just something to keep in mind if we have to go through this again.

Remember (none / 0)

Remember, no votes mean nothing during a filibuster. It can be 59 votes for cloture, 1 vote against cloture with only 60 senators present.

 

Outcome of that...filibuster is not broken.

 

So sleeping in or voting no is the same damn thing. I've pointed that out before.
