Midterms

Well the 2010 November elections are inching closer. Many of the folks I respect most out here in the blogosphere have waxed eloquent about their disappointment in the Democrats' performance in Washington. This is certainly understandable. Yet part of this frustration merely reflects just how deep a hole has been dug for our country. We have enormous amounts of work to do simply repairing recent damage. There may be certain Democrats who are so bad, that watching them lose to a Republican might not be such a bad thing. But even a gutless Democrat, who votes right only 80% of the time, is far superior than a Republican who will never vote in the nation's best interest. We need to work hard to prevent another Republican hijacking of Congress. I'm old enough to remember what it was like in the 90's-- we don't want to find out how much worse it would be this time around. So, please grab a bumper sticker, make some calls, help turn out more voters. Let's close this enthusiasm gap and save America. Christine O'Donnell and her friends provide great entertainment on the campaign trail-- it won't seem so amusing if they spew their nonsense on the floor of the Senate!
