The argument the Dems are afraid to make

I want a Democratic Congress as much as the next guy, but at some point I wonder whether it's time to put all our eggs in the presidential basket and start arguing that divided government is a good thing. I.e., if you're going to have a Republican Congress, you should have a Democratic president to even things out. In the past, polls have show that this argument resonates with the public. And as the latest articles are suggesting that the Repugs may keep control of the Congress, is it time to start using this argument openly with the voters. Namely, the Republicans have controled the House, the Senate, the presidency and the Supreme Court for the past four years. Isn't it time for a bit more competition?

Finally, as you know, I don't believe the election is decided until the fat lady votes, but nonetheless it's interesting that the Dems aren't willing to use this persuasive argument this time around.
