For this month's podcast, we sat down with Congressman Rush Holt to hear his thoughts on the upcoming State of the Union, political blogging, NSA domestic spying, rising energy costs, the President's upbringing (hint: it involved immersion in oil) and more.Also of interest, Congressman Holt will join BlueJersey after the State of the Union for a live discussion. Plus, Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) will be liveblogging the State of the Union at NJ for Democracy, Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA) will be liveblogging at WashBlog, and Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH) will be liveblogging at MyDD.
On Medicare Part D: "I'm not going to accuse them of designing it to fail--although that thought has crossed my mind."
Holt answers the question: "Where are the Democrats?" and shares his thoughts on how to regain a Congressional majority.
Now those are some Dems who know how to work the blogosphere.
