26. I think you're already starting to see blowback on the anti-choice agenda...

The real test will be Wendy Davis in Texas. However, the legislatures and judges who impose radical, anti-woman laws are obviously a hindrance to the overall progress of the country ... but I don't think they're indicative of the people.

But yeah. You'll see what you want to see. So, there really is no point pushing forward with this discussion. You've made it quite clear you pretty much don't like the President anymore and will go out of your way to make comments alluding to that hatred. Whatever.

However, if you're right, and America is not moving more toward progressivism, good luck getting a Democrat, or any politician, elected to the presidency who's to the left of Obama. That ain't gonna happen.
