Blue Dog Hunting

It seems MoveOn and Americans United for Change have taken out ads seeking to pressure moderate or so-called “Blue Dog” democrats to…well I guess in this case roll over for the President on his budget initiatives. MoveOn Executive Director Justin Ruben explains, “Our ads ensure the voices of our 5 million members and the millions of other Americans who support this budget can be heard over the army of lobbyists.” To which army of lobbyists do you think he refers – MoveOn and its “5 million members” or the army of lobbyists working for the Obama Administration – the article doesn’t make it too clear.

My suspicion is these dogs are going to start howling once things start to heat up over the spring when the promised economic growth doesn’t quite tie out to Administration forecasts.
