Evidentally I don't know what a Blue Dog Democrat is. I thought I was one. You know, "I'd vote for a blue dog if it was running as a democrat". I've voted for Mike several times, and I'll do it again this year. Why, because I'm a blue dog democrat. I predict that if Mike stays in politics, he'll eventually run as a republican. He has no trouble voting with them. Maybe the Blue Dog will turn into a Blue Elephant.
