When campaign season rolls around, they need to tie the Republicans’ votes around their necks, and this is considerably more difficult when half or more of the Democratic caucus voted with them.

If the netroots eclipse the lobbyists, we will see a *huge* sea change. Politicians will suck up to whoever gives them the best chance to get elected.

The Democrats should force the Republicans to go on the record as being against healthcare, Social Security, equitable taxes, transparent & fair elections, etc., etc. Yes, the Republicans might win, but come election time, you say "Here's what the Republicans stand for; here's what the Democrats stand for. Take your pick." Make the Republicans *own* their votes. Um... Elmo? I think that ship has already sailed. We should be researching and fundraising ball implants. Thanks, BG.
