What independent voters would be attracted by the sentiments expressed at today's demonstration?
A year from now will moderate independents really embrace the teabagger mentality and their candidates?

I suppose that there have to be some seats we can still go after. Joe Wilson might still be safe. But I hope there are others in districts where the wingnuts didn't win by a large margin. I'm ready to donate. Perhaps some governor races as well as Congress.

Be damned with the historical trend of a president's party losing seats two years after taking office. The upcoming election cycle is going to be critical to burying this destructive right wing movement.

1. I say they got nothin'. Nothin' but fear.
And fear only works so well. You need to present an alternative to fear that calms the anxiety. They have none. Just a lot of fear.

2. I'd say that Obama is the alernative to fear
It's a good place for us to be even if we disagree with some of his policies. He's still our best ambassador in an election season.
