Wouldn't Heath Shuler and other "so-called Blue Dogs" beholden to George Soros?

If so, they'll have no choice but to listen to Nancy Pelosi or else their campaign funds for 2008 would be cut.

or else their campaign funds for 2008 would be cut.

Then they probably can switch party...

Won't matter because their conservative voters won't stand for a non conservative candidate. The Republicans will be sure to put up a much better opponent next time around. They were tied to an incumbent who had some ethics issues people weren't too fond of. Besides the dems will have no choice but to put money back into this candidate if they wish to hold the seat. If he votes differently than he ran as a candidate he is screwed. Keep an eye on this guy and the other neo-dems.

On a side note I do like Shuler and what he stands for. He really does have the wrong letter next to his name but that is it.

That depends upon how many there are. If there are enough of them, then Pelosi will have to listen to them or she will no longer be speaker.

We have a FReeper who is planning to take that seat back in 08.

Oh, Heath Shuler! I kept reading Heath Ledger and wondering, how...? Welcome to Broke Nation, stump-broke by the left.

When you read the FEC Reports on Heath Shuler's money, you find that fat contributions -- $4,000 and up -- come from Pelosi and other Dem libs in the House, and especially from the national (Dem lib) unions. Those are his paymasters. It remains to be seen whether he will vote the way his paymasters want, as a Member of the House.
