RE :"It sure is a tough call this time around. We may have to live with a Demorat majority Senate for a long time to come. Just that alone must be taken into consideration. "

One thing just dawned on me today. If a Republican beats Obama and takes office in 2013, the Democrats in the Senate will probably block tax cut extensions, and block removing the military cuts in the trigger and blame the Republican POTUS for them both. And no changes to any anti-poverty programs or entitlements in that trigger.

This is the Boehner deal that Democrats are realizing they got the best of, that Boehner said he got 95% of what he wanted.

That is about it. It is to easy to fall into the trap where one does not look at the whole forest's health and fixes one's gaze upon some half rotten tree stump.
The only way most of us might become partly content once again is to find a really solid conservative POTUS who stayed around for two terms with a newly minted solid conservative oriented Senate and House to back them up in many areas, come into existence. I just don't see that happening any time soon.
As long as the likes of Harry Reid and his close associates continue to have their way in the Senate, things will not go forward. Notice the fifteen bills that the House sent over to the Senate are still sitting there.
