CQ Politics posted an interesting analysis of Democratic Party Unity since regaining the majority. Here's the bit on Congressman Shuler:

Heath Shuler, North Carolina’s 11th District (West — Asheville)

• Party Unity Score: 82.9 percent (4th lowest)

• 2006 result: Shuler 54%, Rep. Charles H. Taylor 46%

• 2004 President: Bush 57%, Kerry 43%

Shuler, who takes conservative positions on some social issues, voted against the bills to promote embryonic stem cell research and to classify certain violent offenses as “hate crimes.” He also voted against a defeated bill, backed by 169 Democrats and two Republicans, that called for the full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq within 180 days.

Follow me over the jump for a look at Shuler's record and what it means.

By now, most of you will have heard about Rush Limbaugh's cruel attack on Michael J Fox's affliction in the political ad about stem cells. The GOP has a response ad which of course makes no sense.

Should we have expected more from the GOP? Nope. Especially when they have been caught hiding child predators.

Trying to get a straight answer out of McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds.

BTW: I'm glad that Talking Points Memo posted this excerpt on Youtube, but since when does TiVo'ing something allow you to brand it with your logo? That's the Wild West...

Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory says he wants to change the culture in Raleigh. I guess that's why he wrote this letter to PAC lobbyists asking for their fundraising help. Change you can believe in? Riiiiiiight. Join the conversation here.
