Late Afternoon Coffee

++The Little website that could: Underfunded by House Republicans, healthcare.com has had a shaky start. Today's Post now raises the concern that the White House should be afraid of the numbers. Well, given the number of days the website has been down and that enrollment lasts to March 2014, here is today's number: 903,190 that have enrolled. So what happens when the website really works? 

++Oversight has been so intense for the GOP they shutdown early today so they went on vacation for ten days.

++Daryl Issa wants to investigate the website, believing the latest Rightwing meme that Michelle Obama's Princeton classmate owns it and there is the conflict of interest. Or if you want it another way, the company gave massive amounts of donations to the Republicans, who have a vested interest in it failing.

++Mary Landrieu wants to introduce a bill that allows Americans to keep their junk insurance saying a promise is a promise.

++The Democrats are close to unanimity on ENDA with Senator Manchin holding up the works. Harry Reid has already moved to cloture and a vote may come next week.

++Also next week ,Hawaii is supposed to approve same sex marriage.

++Yes, progressives, Elizabeth Warren has come out in favor of Hillary Clinton for President. At least, she signed the letter of all women Democratic Senators asking her to run.

++The last polls of the day--Roanoke shows the Macker up 17 against the Cooch. Rasmussen has changed from 17 Macker to 7 for the Macker.

++Cooch supporters e-mailed the Wenzel Poll showing is a neck and neck race. Remember Wenzel had Romney winning Ohio and Michigan and Sharon Angle beating Harry Reid.

++The GOP's latest polls show the party has a 29.6% approval rating and a 58.2% disapproval rating.
