Teri Pittman: yes, I recall that. Small states are vulnerable.

Maybe the liberals who moved there got tired of being in the sticks, though.

Isn’t New Hampshire the state where they attempted takeover? I seem to recall a movement to influence one state by having like minded people move to it. I believe that New Hampshire won but I’ve heard nothing more about it. Found it: http://www.freestateproject.org/

Katrina Vanden Heuvel is a true believer.

She often makes appearances on Morning Joe on MSNBC, and every time I see her I think how horrible it must be to be seated next to her at a dinner party.

A truly insufferable “progressive.” She will not be moved from her deeply entrenched views. And NO sense of humor about things whatsoever.

Katrina Vanden Heuvel likes Nancy Pelosi

http://www.thenation.com/blog/155934/nancy-pelosi-minority-leader

In her own column she writes, “In all, more than 400 House bills weren’t even voted on by a meek Senate straitjacketed by the filibustering GOP and enough conservative Democratic accomplices.”

I swear the idiocy called talent these day!!! Smacking forehead again !

The clincher sentence from Katrina is:

Her judgment is good: exit polls suggest Democrats would have fared far better this election if they had followed her lead and made job creation a priority.

OH. MY. GOD !

All 400 bills did NOTHING for jobs except make them more scarce Katrina !

Thank the lord for the voters…

That was the most idiotic column I’ve read in awhile.

DeWayne wrote, “Obama should urge wealthy supporters to create a fund from anonymous donors, much like the one the chamber amassed, to challenge GOP dogma.”

smacking forehead !!!

Well speaking for myself (a former Dem, newly registered Republican but basically an Independent at heart) I went into that voting booth hellbent on restoring some balance to the system (not only federal but I was determined to vote mostly GOP at the state and local levels too). That meant basically voting straight ticket, and I’ve never done that before in my life.

I had been deeply horrified by the supermajority that was voted into office in 08, and I don’t think I’m the only one.
