Rosalind Kurita may have sealed her own doom

Jackson Baker is reporting that Sen. Rosalind Kurita (D-Clarksville) may have sealed her own fate last week in a Senate Democratic Caucus meeting. Kurita, whom we all remember for her failed US Senate campaign (which we supported) and her voting for Ron Ramsey for Lt. Governor (which we did NOT), is facing primary opposition in the form of local attorney Tim Barnes.

Barnes may be getting a LOT of Democratic Party support now, after this:

The meeting - of the admonitory sort that politicians refer to
irreverently as a "come-to-Jesus" affair -- took place at the request of
Democratic caucus chairman Joe Haynes of Goodlettsville during the last week of
the 2008 legislative session. It was a day after Kurita had voted with Senate
Republicans to defeat a key Democratic-backed bill to amend eligibility
requirements for lottery-funded Hope scholarships. She was taken to task by
several caucus members for that vote and for other breaks with the party
majority but vigorously defended her right to cast her votes as she saw
fit.

She was then asked if she would at least pledge to support the
caucus' candidate for Senate Speaker at the beginning of the next legislative
session, in January 2009. She declined to make such a commitment.

Kyle cannot afford to support her now, nor can we, folks. Sorry, Rosalind, as the old saying goes, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. OK, at least you're not trying to fool us any more; we know where you stand, so part company we must.

What Pesky and Jesse say...

I noted the other day that there are Democrats threatening to vote for McCain if HRC is our nominee in the fall.

Here's Pesky on the subject:

Seriously peeps. I'm still not sure about what I'll do in the
morning--- though I suspect an Obama vote is in my future. But in the General I'll be voting for whoever isn't John McCain.But hey, a if Neocon restoration and a hard right Supreme Court is what all you serious, Hillary-hating Dems want, who am I to stop you?

Read the rest, it's on point. So, too is Jesse Wendel at Group News Blog:

I promise you if Hillary Clinton loses the nomination, she will
support Barack Obama. And I promise you if Barack Obama loses, he will support Hillary Clinton. Guaranteed. Anyone who doesn't support the nominee, should go start their own blog, I Hate Winning, where all the other whiners and complainers who have taken their balls and bats can go complain about how the world isn't devoting itself to doing what they want, how unfair life is, and how mean and nasty people are for pointing out what losers they are.

Meanwhile, the rest of us, will forget all about you ten minutes
after you stop whining on GNB and other serious blogs, unless and until, you actively start working for the Republicans or for some third party. At which point you become the enemy and get attacked just like anyone else.

Next?
