When I called my Rep today, I also pointed out that it would look really bad for the GOP if the House went to recess without cleaning up the debt ceiling mess. Don't know if it will work, but even kindergarters clean up before they go out to play.

I was asked for my name and zip code; perhaps to ensure that they're not being 'botted' with calls, maybe to see how often one person is contributing to the call volume. Makes no difference to me, I'll still call.

In contrast to the folks in Minnesota, the GOP Trifecta in MO almost failed to pass a budget and left a lot of things on the calendar when the mandated adjournment came around, all due to intraparty squabbling; there aren't unfortunately, enough Democrats in state government here to even be effective roadblocks.

You're so right about talking up Dem accomplishments. That was the problem in Virginia when it flipped red -- Democrats had accomplished big things with their majority, but nobody KNEW.
