Gridlock is our friend...
So, is our best choice now a dimocrat president and 41 Republican senators who will oppose whatever a Dem. wants?
It seems that way. We know from experience that Republicans will cave in to a Republican (if in name only) president.
You are assuming you will have 40 Senators. Based on turn, money and organization, it looks like the GOP is going to face a 1980s style massacre in Nov. To challenge all that money and organization, the Republican's Establishment brilliant plan is to be "Democrat Lite".
Good luck firing up Conservatives to work their butts off to offset the Democrats advantages when the GOP candidate is the 1st Republican Candidate in 30+ years who is promising a Tax HIKE if elected!
But we don’t have 41 Senators, with people like Snowe andher ilk.
