Durbin to appear on Meet The Press
Assistant Minority Leader and whip Senator Dick Durbin will appear with fat Timmy this Sunday along with the always creepy Assistant Majority Leader and whip, Mitch McConnell.
Durbin does extremely well in these settings as well as in his floor speeches.
And speaking of Durbin, a guy from Rockford runs an anti-Durbin blog aptly named "Dump Durbin". His case against Durbin is pretty lame, but good for some chuckles.
**Update** C-span is airing the Dem dog & pony road show to highlight their position on Social Security which was taped Friday at Pace University. Under the banner "Democrats Strengthing Social Security" and the iffy slogan "Fix it, don't nix it", Hillary Clinton MCed the event which featured Durbin as well as John Kerry, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, Frank Lautenberg, and others.
The event included a small group of "ordinary citizens" who told their stories and whom the pols then used as live props during their talks. It appears that each poltician brought their own "citizen" to the event.

Go Dick Durbin!
As the new Minority Whip of the U.S. Senate, he's been elevated to star status. And he's been called "Senator Soundbite" for good reason. He is an excellent communicator of Democratic Party policies and issues.
We sure could use him out there more and more.
Thanks for the info, Dissenter, and it goes to show you how out of touch those GOP'ers are. Senator Dick Durbin has been to Whiteside County several times during his Senate tenure. I know because I worked on his 2002 campaign in the region. Conservatives are becoming increasingly disappointed with Durbin because he's become more outspoken than Obama on core Democratic Party issues.
