The Pelosi appointment could have that effect. I wonder how many members of the U.S. House will now switch. Speaking of GA, what are Jim Marshall's politics?
The GOP should start dangling low-level appointments and promises of future help. Dems HATE to be out of power, their money machines (trial lawyers and unions) are going to dry up (now that the economy is down AND the Dems can't deliver on anything) and we can expand our lead everywhere. Our goal now is 60% of every House and Senate. Let that major party collapse (we haven't seen that happen in over a century!), and let them finally remove their masks and truly become the Socialist party or the Green Party (or both), in name as well as in substance.
