Made the mistake of listening to Err Amerika on XM in the car this morning. THey are celebrating the drop of the ANWR drilling provisions. Analysis has it that the GOPers up for re-election wanted it dropped in order to help their re-election chances. Seems this weeks elections have sent the message to the GOP that they are vulnerable and had better not push anything with controversy. It appears to me that we have a lame duck president and a lame duck congress. It just seems like the Republicans are paralyzed.
That is called a prevent defence and it never works.
