Big news of the day? Obama tells Keystone XL to go to Hell.

I knew this was going to explode in Republican’s faces;

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Republicans tried to force a quick decision and it backfired on them.

“If the Republicans care so much about the Keystone Pipeline they would not have narrowed the president’s options by putting it on the time frame that they did. They left him very little choice,” Pelosi said.

Did they think he would change his mind if he had to make a quick decision? Any fool can see the pipeline has no benefit to Americans, in fact, it could harm us more then anything.

Is the Varilek machine all it’s cracked up to be?

I was Alfalfa in a previous life.

From a South DaCola foot soldier;

Pam Gulleson (ND-AL) is in a similar position to Matt Varilek. Open seat with Obama at the top of the ticket. Both states have a Republican controlled state house and state senate. Both candidates have raised about $125K. Republican Rick Berg defeated Democrat Pomeroy in the last election and Repulican Noem defeated Democrat Herseth Sandlin. However, according to this, the DCCC is targeting Pam Gulleson for help but not Matt Varilek. Is the Varilek machine all it’s cracked up to be?  How much power do Daschle and Johnson wield anymore if they can’t get Varilek added to the first important fundraising rescue list the DCCC puts out to their donors?

While I agree, Noem is dangerous, and well, an idiot. Varilek will really have to step up his game to beat Noem, especially when it comes to money. The first thing I suggest is that he gets his hair cut in Mitchell and not at the Little Rascals barbershop.
