re: much easier to see who goes on our notepads for defeat in the coming 2-4 years
Absolutely! And it will be much easier to use the threat of an election day drumming out because the last round showed it can be done. In years past politicians knew they could simply ignore threats of being unelected because it happened so seldom. That’s changing, thank God, literally!
The possibility of having to make their way in the cruel hard world where you and I live is real for the first time in the careers of a lot of politicians. And well it should be.
Hopefully, 2010 will go down as the year the voters began to feel their oats. The example made of several incumbents, by either delivering a primary loss or scaring the hell out of them, will go a long way in making them appreciate the phrase “consent of the governed!”
Absolutely. Nice post!
I can guarantee you Dick Lugar will be sharing the seats with the Dems.
People here in Indiana are determined to see his forced retirement in 2012.
