11. I think that was the strategy all along

*WE* have now given them enough rope to hang themselves with in the next two years.

I am hoping that things will be so obviously worse that the Dems can come swooping back in with a huge majority to achieve what's actually needed in 2016.

The Good Old Pricks in the Republican party won't be able to demonstrate anything other than a worsening of everything.

HOWEVER, *WE* dems have to make sure that the electorate is FULLY aware of how good things are right now in terms of unemployment, health care, equal marriage rights, etc. It may be expensive, but it will be much more expensive to let the GOP win in 2016.

Hadn't thought about it, but yes! A slightly more polished Grayson is what it takes BlueCaliDem Nov 2014 #5

That would be Sherrod Brown. jen63 Nov 2014 #10

That's the problem. M$M won't give more air time to a truth-teller like Senator Brown BlueCaliDem Nov 2014 #12
