i'm so glad this essay was posted immediately after the one on republican obstructionism... because i think it shows that reid et al. really don't care about republican obstructionism - they won't confront it directly as it is happening in either their press releases, conversations with reporters, on the sunday morning talk shows or procedurally in congress.
instead, after a year of caving and complicity, we get a cynical ploy aimed at the democratic base in order to extract more money and more volunteer hours for the coming elections. if our democratic leaders actually objected to republican obstructionism to the degree they object to dodd's (and feingold's last year) principled stands - then they would do something to fight the republican obstructionism. but they don't.
