Gotta Love how the Democrats really feel about the voters:Joe Biden: Democratic base should ‘stop whining’ MANCHESTER, N.H. — Campaigning for Democratic candidates in New Hampshire, Vice President Joe Biden said Monday the party’s base should “stop whining.”

Meanwhile how are things at the Polls Gov?
<a Patrick support plummets, poll finds: Faulted on economy, reforms; tough reelection fight ahead

The MA. House ended their Formal Session in JULY…according to today’s Beacon Hill Roll Call During the week of Sept. 20-24, the House met for a total of one hour and 44 minutes .
Yet today according to the breaking News in the Sun: Massachusetts House Republicans have blocked Democrats plans to pass a $400 million spending bill.…Ok they ended the session on JULY 31st yet they want an informal session with no roll call and not a full House to pass a bill SPENDING 400 MILLION OF OUR TAX DOLLARS!
The House Leaders need to get on the same page, Legislative rules prohibit formal sessions after July 31 in an election year, a provision intended to prevent campaign season chicanery or lame-duck sessions.
They could reconvene but a majority of members in the House and Senate would have to opt to suspend the rules and meet in a special session, but each item on the agenda would require a two-thirds vote of support to come to the floor, a level that could prove insurmountable for some bills.
Bill Clinton: Dems must hone messageFormer President Bill Clinton tossed a political life preserver to John F. Kerry last night in Boston, defending the Bay State senior senator after his tone deaf voters-don’t-get-it comments but asserting that Democrats need to do a better job selling themselves to a riled up electorate. Now that Uncle Teddy isn’t around Bill has to come to MA. to save Kerry & Barney.
