The Blue Dogs That Survived November Still On Bad Terms With Pelosi

And that's good (from Daily Caller):

Blue Dogs off the leash -- "Blue Dog Democrats might support a plan from House Republicans to cut $32 billion in discretionary spending this year," reports The Hill. "The Blue Dog openness to the GOP comes amid strained relations with Pelosi. On Monday, Blue Dog leader Rep. Heath Shuler (N.C.), who challenged Pelosi for the job of Democratic leader in the 112th Congress, said the coalition has been shut out by the leader’s office." During an appearance on MSNBC, Schuler said, "There has really been no communication whatsoever. We still do not have any connection between the Blue Dogs and leadership.” Back home, this is what we call a "blessing in disguise." 

A great many Blue Dogs were sacrificed to the god Obamacare in November, and Nancy Pelosi doesn't seem too enthused about making nice with what's left of that caucus. That just means more votes for us and more frustration for Pelosi.
