Hi tkc,

That's why I am looking for movement on the House side of things. I haven't the patience to follow it district by district, per dig. But if the overall numbers are swinging towards the Dems, that is good news.

Re Senate - the filibuster has to be changed. Fine for deferral, but it shouldn't defeat democracy's simple majority on a permanent basis. I think having the filibuster degrade by two votes in each round of voting might work okay.

Re Obama - thank goodness the GOP chose such a poor candidate. But you are right. He is an expression of the problem of rightwards tilt that is the theme of Republican politics since Gingrich was speaker.

Hi CF, isn't that what we've been saying (and seeing) all along: the recent core of the GOP is so far right and unaccepting of any positions slightly to their left. Therefore they're unable to attract more centered voters. With changing demographics they change or continue to shrink. Regardless, Obama will have a very difficult time getting his 2nd term agenda through the House. Obstructionism is the GOP's tool be it via a House majority or the Senate filibuster. An Obama win will be sweeeeeet.
