This is the reality, folks. Look at the map. There is no chance of retaking Congress until 2012.

Look at the map, tell me realistically how we can ever retake the Senate?

1. As long as e-voting exists, we'll never win another election.
Period.

4. There's a lot of gerrymandering ahead ...
between now and 2012. Do you really think there will ever be another Democrat elected to office above dogcatcher, Walt? They've f*cked up Texas and Ohio with that stuff already, look for it to start happening in other 'borderline' states that have anything like a GOP majority in their legislatures. They'll make it impossible for any Democratic candidate ever to win state or national office again, if they can.

5. Vote with our feet.. Dems must start LEAVING those red states
take their "numbers"..but it has to be before 2010, when the next census happens..

We have to strategically take their power by adding to blue states..

So if you are a business owner and are a dem, outsource it to a blue state, bring the jobs to people who deserve them..

It's a pocketbook issue,, the repubes value money more than almost anything.. do not give them your money..they use it against you
