51. And you put THAT far better than I could

I'd go on for paragraphs or even pages. . . .


The thing here though is that making the statement now may serve to bring in election support, but assuming Obama wins in November -- and I really don't think Romney has a chance -- he's not going to have the re-election worries to prevent him, or the people he made promises to, from pushing forward on an agenda, whatever that agenda may be.

This will be even more true if the Dems hold on to any kind of majority in congress.

THE BIG QUESTION, however, is whether the party will look long term and start preparing someone for 2016. If they started a kind of talent show, trotting out all the hopefuls/possibles in a kind of American Idol audition process, they could lessen their worries.

We already know some of the likely pukes, and you have to believe the media will be putting them out there. The Dems don't seem to do this. And while I understand the ick factor of letting the party choose our candidates, this is politics after all. If we the people get out there and make enough noise over the next four years, some things could happen. If we wait until November 2016, we can't complain too much.


Shutting up now,
