The Republicans should now start doing what they should have last November - reaching across the aisle to like-minded Democrats willing to break ranks with their party in favor of conservative, fiscally responsible government.

Best bet? There are Democrats in purple to red districts. Go to them and remind them that they are up for re-election in 2010. Get them to vote with the moderates to conservatives. But still hammer them during the 2010 campaign as out of touch liberals.
