and he should have retired 20 years ago.

Some of the others might have enough of a grasp on reality to find working with teabaggers is impossible. They're just giving up. Undoubtedly the teabaggers will put up the candidates for their seats.

We can only hope the Democratic Party wakes up and proposes real candidates who run real campaigns.
