With her departure announcement yesterday, that huge noise was a collective sigh of relief — from the Republican elites.
Their next order of business will be to contain Cain.
If Romney is the nominee, okay — they can live with him or another Obama term. They tend to like the status quo — and the Republicans will probably gain the Senate, so they can control much of the agenda even without taking the White House.
Exactly right.
No, if we don’t get the WH it doesn’t matter if we have the House and the Senate.
With Boehner and McConnell we’ll just get Obama-lite because they’ll want to be seen as “doing something”.
If it’s Romney and he beats Obama, the three of them will just slow down the destruction of America and our capitalist society.
No reversal of huge government agencies that have doubled in size over the last 8 years. No elimination of outdated agencies like Energy and EPA. No accountability will be used to hold the Obama administration to task for their law breaking.
It will be 2004-2008 all over again and the GOP will again be out of power by 2016.
There was a huge sigh of relief from the White House and DNC HQ’s, too.
Bummer. I know I’m bummed about it.
