Sorry to butt in but I just heard Chicago's Mayor Daley just announced he will not stand for re-election. He said "it's time to move on". That's all the details at the moment.
Now back to your regularly scheduled thread....

Should Republicans win or capture both chambers, they could spell the end of Obama's sweeping reform agenda and usher in a period of tense divided government.
Let me see now............Demonrats by hook and crook "pass" extremely partisan laws that they haven't read, blocking participation by the Republicans, over the screams of NO!!! by their constituents........all the while blaming every little thing on racist, homophobic, hate-filled, narrow-minded stupid Republicans and conservatives!
Naw, that's not "tensely divided"...........won't be until the Republicans, by voice of the people, take control of congress.............Stephen Collinson of AFP doesn't have a clue........
