If we voters deliver a majority in the House and 60 Senators to Obama in 2012, then the Democrats will be forced to listen to their constituents. They will not need any Republicans to pass legislation.

If it looks like this is possible by the time of the election- that there could actually be enough Dems in both Houses to stop all of this partisan crap that goes on without getting things done, I might align with the Dems. The idea of going through more years of how it has been going makes me crazy.

Yes, Feinstein is up for re-election. I will vote for her.

I honestly do have a problem with Obama not getting behind the Simpson-Bowles recomendations back in December. I hope he is makes a whole lot more noise about trade agreements getting done when the Congress reconvenes. Critical for job creation.
