Subject: RE: BS: Mass. Senatorial race
So, Rig, do you finally understand the parallel between 2010 and 1948?
In case you are still a bit slow--based on past history, not a bad bet----, point is that the party which had the label "Do-Nothing Congress" attached to it lost bigtime in the fall--and we're just talking about the Senate and House. The parallel is, amazingly enough, not exact----in case anybody is dying to point that out. 1948, of course, was a presidential election year; 2010 is not.
However, the point remains that "Do-Nothing Congress" is not really a distinction you want to have attached to you.
And that's the direction this Congress is headed--fast.
