Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill (D) continues with twitter updates:
First up bipartisan breakfast. Peter Orszag is guest. Topic controlling entitlement spending. Will be interesting to see what Sens show up. about 8 hours ago from web
And what exactly does “control entitlement spending” mean? I hope it doesn’t have anything to do with widows and orphans – now that would be real “bipartisanship”…
Fyi When I used word “Armageddon” in connection with stimulus I was quoting a R businessman who talked to me. Never spoke to Wash Times about 6 hours ago from TinyTwitter
That’s a good thing about the Washington Times because, you know, they tend towards wingnutty in their outlook.
In caucus lunch.Meetings with Missourians this aft.Another meeting of moderate compromise group at 3 about 2 hours ago from TinyTwitter
Uh, oh. That can’t be good for the House when it comes to the economic stimulus bill conference.
If Joe Lieberman and Ben Nelson are in that group I don’t think you should get to call it “moderate”. Are they? Just saying.
She quoted a prominent Republican CEO who told her that it would be financial Armageddon if the stimulus did not pass soon. Quoting him implies that she agrees to some extent, but it isn’t as if she and Democrats are alone in saying that there will be consequences if the stimulus is delayed.
“moderate compromise group” Twitter earlier and I had the same thought.
As in from Nebraska… Dem Senator..used to be Governor Nelson… VERY moderate.. He is one of the leaders in the cuts to the House plan, he, Sen. Snowe, Sen. Collins, and Sen. Spector, the 3 Republicans they had to bring over to get the Recovery Bill passed.
So, yeah, I guess he qualifies as Moderate.
