The Democratic Party has long thought the reason the country gave them control of Congress in 2006 was so they could sit on their fat asses and do nothing, except help George Bush use the constitution as toilet paper. The spineless ones are now on the cusp of giving George Bush a nice gift. It is a done deal. The House passed the FISA Bill and Democratic leadership has ordained the Senate will

AP - The public must pressure Republicans in the White House and Congress to change directions in the country's energy policies, which have pushed oil and gas prices to record highs, a Democratic lawmaker said Saturday.

The only plausible path-at this point- for Democratic presumptive nominee Obama to beat Republican presumptive nominee McCain is to;1) Hold all the states that John Kerry won in 2004.2) Win any three of the following four States. Colorado (9 Electoral votes),Iowa (7), New Mexico (5) and Nevada (5).George W Bush won Colorado and Nevada in 2000 and all four in 2004. To be sure, the Republicans are vulnerable in all four- particularly Colorado. I wouldn't bet against John McCain winning 2 of the 4. However, Dems hopes to pick up at least the minimum 17 Electoral votes they need by bagging all 3, or even 26, for all 4 is contingent on precept #1- holding all the states John Kerry won.They won't. That is why they are going to lose this election. Rasmussen has shown Obama struggling all over Blu

Tuesday night was, for all intents and purposes, the sign that the race to the Democratic nomination has ended.  Barack Obama's strong victory throughout North Carolina and Hillary Clinton's narrow margin of victory in Indiana are enough to presume that there is no real chance for Clinton to wrest the nomination away from the front runner. The popular vote is against her.  The  math is against her. Soon, the Superdelegates will start aligning with Obama.  The rationale for her campaign — electability, momentum, key wins — have dissipated with the numbers from North Carolina.  Now the Clintons are fierce campaigners.  Since Bill Clinton was elected as Attorney General of Arkansas in 1976, the Clintons collectively have lost just one election — the Governorship in 1
