2010 could be the last year for 'change'



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

A very scary, and very believable, analysis from Larry Sabato:

"The Obama administration has known for a long time that they will never, and I mean never, have 60 votes in the Senate again," said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics. "They will never, and I mean never, have a 40-seat majority in the House again. This is as good as it's ever going to get for them. They're going to get as much as they can get while they can get it."
Yes, it's on FOX's site, but the source, Sabato, is for real. Democrats in Congress and the White House need to figure out how they're going to achieve their goals within this reality. So far we keep being told "gosh we just don't have those 60 votes." You're never going to have them. So either you don't keep your promises, or you figure out how to work in a system where everything isn't handed to you on a silver platter. Perhaps it's time to start fighting for something.
