re: #181 Dark_Falcon

The problem for the GOP is that if they agree to any sort of compromise, even one that favors them. the teabaggers are going to scream “RINO!” at them. Someone (probably a Senator not up for reelection this year) needs to explain to them how divided government works.

Why? It’s abundantly clear The Tea Party is not swinging elections. Virginia and NJ governorships were won by running towards the middle. Brown won with a great campaign aided by Cloakly running off a cliff. NY23 ran the right Tea Bag candidate and lost. The Tea Party is like a hollow drum - it makes a big noise, but look - nothing inside!

What’s going to sway Americans at the polls are people willing to address problems instead of sticking their heads in the sand, yelling about no one wanting to play and hoping the other guy loses.
