Who Owes Schumer?

By Big Tent Democrat

I always hate those "who owes Rahmbo" stories. The fact is no one owes Rahmbo anything. But if anyone does, it is the Blue Dogs. Let him go twist some Blue Dog arms. But it is good to see some "Senators owe Schumer" stories:

Sen. Charles Schumer has revived the prospect of a public insurance option in the Senate’s version of healthcare reform. Whether it ultimately passes may depend on a handful of first-term Democrats who owe their seats, in significant measure, to the support they received from Schumer (D-N.Y.) when he headed the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) in 2006 and 2008.

Is this true? Who cares. Just good to see some stories that give Schumer the juice, given the fact that his performance was actually stellar, as opposed to Rahmbo's lackluster work in 2006, which has been magically transformed by the Rahmbo PR machine into some political miracle.

Speaking for me only
