But I will concede that the current attitude of "cuddle with republicans and blue dogs and somehow profit" needs to change. Again people do not vote dem to get pub. If they want pubs they vote pubs. A 1200 page healthcare bill with a weak ass public option and full of concessions for the insurance industry will not help dems in 2010 unless they get on the ball and start passing measures that have more of an impact now.
The EFCA is still waiting to be passed for instance.

It's actually going top be uphill now for any real liberal policy. The one thing that is going to totally rip apart the dem majority is the economy. People are seriously worried about that, and things are getting worse...not better. Projected unemployment (from the White House) actually is worse than what they originally estimated. We've had some of their economic water carriers calling 10% unemployment the "new norm". Seriously, that doesn't inspire anyone, and admits the flaw. And democrats have been pursuing policies which negatively affect business growth. They are not providing any incentive for growth with the amount of control they have attempted to wrestle away from private sector interests. From forced bailouts, to control of pay issues, it is a disaster. Simply put..with these Democrats in control, it has not been a good business environment. Investors know that. Companies are not taking risks, and expanding operations. That bodes terrible for next year for Democrats. Next year's elections will be here before you know it.
And as GR says, it's time to go after Congress. This is only the first stop.
