It would be easy to correlate his support for the Detroit automakers some months back as largesse, if you didn't know how many auto plants there are in Tennessee. When Frodo is in the same State as Corker, he buttons his wallet.Frodo, fighting crime,http://www.loveysdaddyga.tripod.com/blogdirectory/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125940219291633674.post-8969453525529413232010-02-12T18:21:42.624-06:002010-02-12T18:21:42.624-06:00That would make sense too, certainly in this case....That would make sense too, certainly in this case. Right now Wall Street is about as popular as a swarm of cockroaches with swine flu, even among a lot of rank-and-file Republicans. Corker probably figures there's no up-side, vote-wise, to shielding them from regulation. For a politician who's taken unpopular-enough positions, even money can only do so much.Infidel753http://infidel753.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125940219291633674.post-51399939244292501592010-02-12T15:45:22.491-06:002010-02-12T15:45:22.491-06:00Infidel: " the smarter Republicans are realiz...Infidel: " the smarter Republicans are realizing that if they don't join in the process, they may end up being completely bypassed."<br /><br />I think this is true but I think I have to wonder if they're not looking after their re-election hides. I can't remember who or where, but today some GOP governor of a northern state criticized his party.

Perhaps the growing talk of using reconciliation to un-jam health-care reform is bearing fruit -- the smarter Republicans are realizing that if they don't join in the process, they may end up being completely bypassed.Infidel753http://infidel753.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
