Democrats have plenty more to lose than Republicans. Too bad the Left doesn't have the structural integrity to get out the vote in an off-year election....an election that they will need as much momentum as they can get. The first black President is in office, so it's back to the Couch Of Apathy for most of the 2008 Democratic voters in 2010.
Yeah. They are going to need someone to top Obama off. Asians and Latinos aren't considered "hip" right now and a gay/lesbian just wouldn't work. They better start thinking of ideas to get people's interest.
Bigsky, and lets hope power struggles to establish primacy get lost in that bargain so statesmanship surrounding the issues can get reinstated. Pelosi has got to be kidding with her cheerleading- did Palin take over her brain? If you can't get it done as majority, you simply cannot get it done. When neither party can get it done because lobbyists rule all, the lobbyists must be expunged.
I dream of a day ordinary citizens from all walks of life and political bents petition ACLU to be their mouthpiece to challenge the dysfunctions of our system.
