Yup...the schism on DU is deepening

369. I'm inclined to think at this point

that the best single hope for the dems in 2014 is the gray vote http://www.nationalmemo.com/carville-greenberg/why-seniors-are-turning-against-the-gop/ being excessively revolted by the repubs, and their swinging our way. That of course is contingent upon BHO dropping all interest and participation in safety net erosions, although that could simply keep many of them home that day, which would be beneficial as well.

2010 didn't come as a big surprise (beyond the number of seats they won) to me because of all the talk about social safety net cuts rightwingers bamboozled them with. I'd expect the repugs to try to use the NSA controversy the same way -- act like it's something fully owned by dems -- as perhaps they do in DC as well, which explains the flurry of bills looking to patch it up.
