In 2008 I supported John Edwards....And then Obama. ...What was I thinking?

89. Focus on Congress, cast a symbolic vote for president. If we have a strong, progressive Dem

Congress, if we work harder than ever before in the primaries, throw out the corporate puppets (we've had time to figure out who they are now) no president can do much harm because a real Democratic Congress will stop them.

We spend way too much and money and effort on the Presidential Race, just decide to vote for the Dem nominee because there is no way anyone can vote for the Republican, but don't waste too much time on it.

The next national election has to be all about Congress. THAT is where the power is. We neglect the most important races while being distracted by the show that is the presidential election.

I won't be doing that again. Starting in 2014 we have to begin the process of replacing the pretend Democrats along with as many Republicans as possible. We can do it, we did it before but we were not prepared for what happened afterwards. Now we are. Knowledge is power, there are more of us than of them. We have Elizabeth Barret in the Senate. She needs more Democrats, real Democrats to help her win the battles she faces.

The presidency has become too compromised, Even the best Dem could not fight off Wall St even if he wanted to. Congress is where the people can have some influence. We have none over the WH.
