I can't wait to see the aftermath of Obama getting his head handed to him in November. I'm starting to invest heavily in mental health clinics.

I haven't been reading the post about Wisconsin but my take on it is that the Democratic party blew a golden opportunity in not getting involved. Walker was dead meat 6 months ago but tens of millions of dollars from right wing fat cats and heavy participation by the RNC, all of it unanswered by the Dems, turned things around. It's Citizens United vs. DNC ineptitude.

Of course, the fact that Walker's been collecting money for a year and Barrett couldn't start until he won his primary only a month ago. The recall process in Wisconsin is seriously flawed, biased in favor of the incumbent.

Well, recall didn't work. Maybe impeachment will after more revelations come forward in the "John Doe" investigation.

Yep. That's about right. As I see it, that's the problem with the Democratic party in general.....follow through. Especially the president, who seems to think that once he says something, (Or signs a bill) that it's just going to magically happen. The GOP is definately more cohesive and determined. Unfortunately, their backwards vision for America that reads like some 1950s propaganda film...........sucks.
