Which is to say, they have so much influence that they get pandered to so that Pelosi doesn't wake up with a horse's head in her bed.
I'm sure Nancy Pelosi can afford a new set of sheets. I really don't find "they're a big lobby" a sufficient excuse - lobbies are only as powerful as politicians allow them to be.

Oh, I totally agree.
Whoa. Rethuglicans just stood up and applauded. That was scary.

Yeah, but they were mumbling about something too, right?

I figured he'd save Ted Kennedy for the closer. Not that it's not applicable -- it very VERY much is -- but it's also great politics.

Yeah, and his family looks so...emotionally raw, but representing Teddy.

I really want to know who it was that shouted "Lies!" when Obama said that the plan wouldn't cover illegal immigrants. That one should be pretty easy to verify or disprove -- it's not like it's one of the "what will happen in ten years if we do this and this happens and this other thing happens but this thing doesn't happen" questions. And his next sentence was about not paying for abortion, and I really expected somebody to shout out something then. (He kind of looked like he expected it, too.)
