Are the Lefties Coming Around?

Andrew Roth

From the WSJ ($ req'd):

White House aides say the president has reached out privately to moderate Senate Democrats besides Conrad of North Dakota, whose recent White House visit made news. "They haven't wanted to publicize" the contacts, says a Republican, for fear Democratic foes will pressure their colleagues.

I'm optimistic and equally pessimistic about this report. It's good that some moderate Lefties are removing Harry Reid's hooks and are listening to the White House, but it doesn't bode well to expect a pro-growth bill. Although, a pro-growth bill in the Senate was probably never in the cards, considering the fact that the conservative caucus is in the minority.
