Democrats say no liberal plans in next Congress

Reuters. reported Three Democratic congressmen who are about to take important leadership posts said on Sunday they plan to pass popular legislation blocked by Republicans but would refrain from pushing some of the most controversial elements on the liberal agenda.

They say that now, but no one is suggesting that blue dogs should become committee chairs. I wonder how long it will take before the effort to pretend to be centrist will be thrown to the winds, and before they start catering to the demands of the left side of the blogosphere.

The three, appearing on Fox News Sunday, are among the most liberal Democrats who will take over key committee chairmanships when Democrats regain control of the House of Representatives in January.
