If you think the President was the reason so many Democrats went down to defeat in 2010 is it "every man for himself" in the Democrat Party in 2012?
“Senate Democrats wonder if or when the White House will take the reins in a budget fight that has several of their vulnerable colleagues in a vise. Democrats suffered a setback Thursday when their proposal to cut spending this year won fewer votes on the Senate floor than a rival bill approved by the GOP House that proposed cutting far more. Unhappiness in the Senate Democratic Conference broke into view last week. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) used a floor speech to criticize Obama for not being a leader in the spending fight. A few days later, several Democratic senators gave White House officials an earful after Vice President Biden was appointed to lead talks on a spending deal, and then
promptly left the country."
Parting ways: President
(There's no truth to the rumor that Biden was hiding out with Wisconsin Democrats in their hidey hole in Illinois.
