It seems that these moderate Democrats can now pretty much block or pass anything that Obama wants to enact.
Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., announced on MCNBC's "Morning Joe" this morning that he has formed a gang of 15 Democrats - yes, Democrats - in the Senate to essentially try to keep President Obama in check. The group is sending a message to the White House to not expect them to rubber stamp every proposal sent down Pennsylvania Avenue, particularly when it comes to spending, and that maybe Obama is trying to do too much, too fast. And since it takes 60 votes to get much done in the Senate, this group could be critical and essentially control the outcome of many pieces of legislation in the Senate.
They should think about joining with a number of moderate Republicans and forming a Centrist coalition. Maybe it will bring some sanity back to a too damn partisan Washington.
