The next time a member of the Obama glee club tries to tell me he isn't a moderate Republican and he's done wonderful things, I'm going to projectile vomit

Hah! Agreed on all counts, though our politics differ at the edges. They did bring up the redistricting issue over here on NHPR last night. It's a big deal because we have all of two districts statewide. Plus if you look at a national map of the results by county, it looks like the urban/suburban/rural splits are growing, with the rural/small towns increasingly a "swing" vote, so district mapping for effect is going to become steadily less complicated. The answer is proportional representation at least in the House, but that'd require a Constitutional convention.
Hey, I was for Hillary! The Obama-ists were so invested in what he was going to do but I didn't see any sign that he had the heart to do it.
I don't often admit to this, but I was raised a Republican (even went to TAR conventions) and my family were very much Rockefeller Republicans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockefeller_Republican. Obama should only be as brave as they. (And I love the source of the quote calling for Congress to "raise the required revenues by approving whatever levels of taxation may be necessary"--Prescott Bush, Dubya's Grandfather!)
You know, if a Republican had been elected with the kind of numbers Obama got, they would have announced they had been given a mandate and steamed full ahead. Why are Democrats such wimps?
