The record number of state legislative seats just won happened on account of the guys who run the state Republican parties, and do the work, hold the meetings, raise the funds, knock on doors (or get door knocker oners), arrange for campaign literature mailings, and a myriad other bunch of tasks that somebody has to do to win an election.

I don't think they need to prove anything to you ~ they won, and in elective politics that's all that counts.

And yes, Obama is your boy. You didn't do enough to stop him back when he was running for the Illinois state legislature.

“And yes, Obama is your boy. You didn’t do enough to stop him back when he was running for the Illinois state legislature.”

Merry Christmas from NC, where I have lived all my life. Rather hard to stop someone from making it to the Illinois state legislature from here.

“I don’t think they need to prove anything to you ~ they won, and in elective politics that’s all that counts.”

Rather elitist statement....but actually, yes they do. They have to prove they are worthy of my vote- and that of people of a like mind. Otherwise they don’t get it. “We’re not as Marxist as the other guys” isn’t going to cut it anymore, either. Winning doesn’t matter much if the only thing you are going to do is go along with the Demcoms.
