2010 is setting up to be a routing for the Dems.
The Dems returned to power based on anger over horrifically bad domestic policy by Bush and the lack of that administration to frankly defend itself. For 8 years it let its opponents define them in the public mind as satan.
So dems came to power out of anger and disgust, not out of support for their agenda. Now that they are attempting to execute their agenda American’s are not in the least happy with what they are trying to do.
The Democratic party is going to be absolutely lambasted in 2010. Those Dems who wish to have long careers will see the light and vote against the crap Reid, Pelosi and Fauxbama are trying to railroad through, unless they are from the bluest of blue districts, or they will see their careers end in absolute routings.
How many Senate dems are up for re-election in 2010?
Somewhere in between your two posts, I hope there simply a decisive shift away from this insane cabal of idealogical zealots intent on destroying whatever they can get their hands on so that the rest of us can quit worrying every day about what they will turn their attention to next. I’d love to see a rout but I’d be happy with a quiet repudiation.
