[Translate] In her appearance on MSNBC’s The Ed Show Wednesday, Debbie Stabenow was silent on Tier 5 again.

[Translate] Today, the day after the exit polls, one must ask the question: Hello Washington: Are you listening? That question and the answer is open to a great deal of interpretation, speculation and mistranslation of whatever message yesterday’s Republican victories truly mean.
