the time and it's a lose, lose proposition for them, isn't it? >> you can run, but you can't hide in a lot of cases. marry landrieu voted for health care and now she is out there beating the drum saying, i want to rewrite this law and i want to work on it and she still voted for it and she is still going to be seen as a loyal democrat to the president and his agenda. you're right. i think it's very difficult to run away. i think in alaska, a democrat who is running on energy issues has a little bit more room and he'll try to do that. but i think it's very difficult for all of these folks. and particularly when you've got house democrats who are now really relying on obama to make this pivot to lead the way to go on offense on health care, to really start talking about a lot of these middle class pocketbook issues. they wanted what they got in the state of the union was a feistier president and defining the party for the midterm. >> by the way, willie, mary
