101. Try to remember that in November when we lose the Senate.

Try to remember that in January when Congress finally breaks the "gridlock" and starts passing bills to send to the President once again holding the nation hostage to Government shut downs. Try to remember that the GOP doesn't really care and the image of them pounding the desks won't resonate with voters when President Obama is faced with the choice of giving in or shutting down the Government. Try to remember that when the charge of Democrats ignored the FRAUD going on in the VA and refuse to prosecute ads start.

I for one will be shaking my head in disgust when all that happens. But it's possible I could be wrong, and we might hold the Senate by a vote or two. I hope so, because unlike you most of the Vulnerable Democrats who are holding office do see this as a massive lose lose situation and they are routinely blasted here on DU for joining with the Rethugs. I wonder why Senator Udall doesn't just tell the Reporters that it's all the Rethugs fault? Perhaps because he'd rather win the election?
