I would not be surprised if some of the most powerful members of Congress--led by Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY)--forces the hand of President Obama to do something significant to really help the economy to save the Democratic Party. Otherwise, the Democrats now face a political bloodbath at least as bad as 1994 and if the trends keep on going it could be bad as 1974, when the Republicans got hugely routed in the first post-Watergate election, only this time it's the American voter repudiating the Democrats.

Thing is, they have to balance the independents against the progressive base. If they try to triangulate, the far left is going to foam at the mouth and stay home or try to run candidates from their position.

Bills need bipartisan sponsors, don’t they? The Young Guns are not as likely as McCain and friends to sign on to something to save the donks. I think the conservatives can talk sense to the caucus for this election.

So far, zerO shows no impulse to moderate and he would not likely be swayed by Chuck.

Lose/lose, for the donks.
