Just now I got a call from the WV Democratic Party asking if they could count on my support for a donation of $100 or more. I laughed and said "no way." Then the caller said, "I know times are tight right now, so perhaps we could count on you for fifty?" I said, "Well, maybe if I could count on Democrats in Congress not to roll over on health care." She didn't get that that was a "no."

That would surely speed things along.
