Sometimes he really is "John Bel Obama"

Isn't there some rule in politics about how you're not supposed to reward your enemies? Modern Democrats seem not to understand.

Edwards also has prompted complaints from Democratic legislators for keeping the dollars flowing for projects in Republican districts that former Gov. Bobby Jindal was funding, rather than killing them in favor of new projects sought by Democrats. The Democrats are especially peeved because many Republicans have refused to support any new revenue measures.

Dont help them until they agree to help you. Republicans haven't been very helpful.
