Here's the bad news...

In the 2010 elections, the GOP worked hard to win as many State Governments as possible so they could redraw the districts in their favor. That gives them an advantage in all elections until after the 2020 elections, when we have a chance to change things.

In the meantime, we must work hard to CLEAN HOUSE and the Senate of the GOP obstructionists or else they will just obstruct and obfuscate until the next election.

Although President Obama's looks good right now, let's not lose sight of all the other races that need to be won in the States and in the US Congress. Let's give President Obama a Congress he can work with. The House of Representatives comes us for election every two years. We have to keep voting out the obstructionists until there are none left and KEEP AT IT until the GOP either gets the message or just plain goes away for good.

2. My least favorite question . . . .

is "how do you expect to work across the aisle?" Congress approval rating is 10%. How are you going to work across the aisle? It's like a puzzle.

Dems have to find a way to force the press to do its job. "The Fourth Estate" it's not.

4. You MUST vote straight Dem

All the way down to local offices. State legislatures are very important. There are no place to get bipartisan. They control redistricting. Republicans know that, which is why they have systematically gained control of state legislatures across the country. Now we need to get them back.
