Now, these are pretty small potatoes, these non-Obamaite congressmen and senators.

Every election since the beginning of time has always had hold-outs; one has to remember that not ALL Democrats were enthusiastic about Franklin Roosevelt, nor were ALL Republicans enthusiastic about Ronald Reagan.

There's always a few; it's a fact of life, and practical politicians always figure, well, if we've gotten the lion's share, it doesn't make any difference, the non-lion's-share.

I've never in my life seen this phenomenon, primitives DEMANDING 100%.

Which means, ultimately, in the end, in some manner, one gets.....zero percent.

Stupid Obamaite primitives.  Really stupid Obamaite primitives.  Just really stupid Obamaite primitives.

3. And should we vote for them?
   
My rep is on that list and I'm not sure what to do about it.

11. Dennis Kucinich
   
Why am I not surprised that he who wants to keep the spotlight burning on himself, would not endorse Obama.

What a sad commentary on his political career.

15. Political fence sitters
   
It must really hurt their asses sitting on that fence day in and day out. Thankfully none of the Oregon Congressional Delegation is on that list. I see a lot of California and Pennsylvania reps names on that list. If I remember correctly all of the Democratic Senators have endorsed Obama.

17. The job of every Democratic congress rep is to get reelected.
   
Every district has its constituency, and if someone can win by not publicly endorsing Obama, I am all for it. I want to win every seat we can in congress, even blue dog seats. We can't rule unless we have those seats.

18. That's way too many people. Good to see no names from my state (MD) on there though.

Stupid Obamaite primitves.  Really stupid Obamaite primitives.  Just really stupid Obamaite primitives.

Just like in the days of "Reconstruction", a "house Negro" was educated and to hard to handle. The modern day carpetbaggers know that. They want a "field hand" that they can control. Obama is a "House Negro".....end of discussion.

It is no big mystery why the Little Goons of Skin's Island think they way they do.  They think every senator and congressman holds a national office beholden to all.  They think Nancy Pelosi is Speaker of the Nation instead of Speaker of the House.  The Little Goons think they can email and fax Nancy Pelosi from anywhere in the nation and she actually cares!  The concept of representative government means nothing to the little goons.

The Little Goons cannot wrap their minds around the fact that Rep. Travis Childers (D-Miss.) may be representing a whole district of folks who loathe Obama Hussein.

Kind of says it all right there.

This is probably true of most on the list.   Most on the list are from red states.   I was thinking the same thing when  I saw how many were from PA.   We still have quite a few pro-life dems.    I would not be surprised at all if PA went to McCain.   It's pretty conservative, except Philadelphia.    Many of the dems here are the old blue collar union type dems, they were ok with the Clintons, Gore and even Kerry (in part because his lovely wife was a beloved senator's widow) but I don't think they will go for Obama.
