    @bethincary

    That can only be doen-if we get Dems in (like Barack Obama)-who don't want to punish the GOP for GW's bad policies..

    You lost me there. Why is it necessary to give the extensive rot that is the GOP a pass (on the flawed predicate that it was just 'GW's bad policies') in order to seat democrats or flip red states or do any of the things you mention?

    Isn't this itself something of a 'blue-dog strategy' itself?
