    Independent Andy

    What's really interesting is that a Democratic member of that maligned bicameral legislature is way ahead of the Republican one. That would suggest to me that the legislature is getting bad marks because the Democrats have not pursued the mandate for which they were elected (and now seem more likely to with the leadership of Obama) and well, you know, why the Republicans are unpopular. You can see it however you like, but you're still going to lose. The cat's out of the bag, and all of the propaganda and shouting of the past eight years wears thinner every day, only showing the complete philosophical and political bankruptcy of the Republican party.
