Your words make people smarter. Thank you!

If we bust our chops in 2014 and get the Congress you describe, we may have a chance. Success in that, IMO, depends entirely on President Obama's leadership. If he uses the Bully Pulpit and asks America to elect liberal, progressive, Democrats, we win. If he sits back and lets surrogates back the most centrist, "practical" and "electable" candidates around, we lose.
