The democrats have held an actual majority. But since gaining majority vote, the democrats have behaved shamefully.
Just being liberal doesn't mean one must ignore this kind of behavior, and apologize blindly for all kinds of strange actions.
The democrats were given a mandate, that they used to support FISA, give Bush all the money he asked for, and otherwise to roll over and play dead for the republicans.
It is not clear the democrats in power are actual liberals. They are merely conservatives in liberal clothings.
Outside of Obama, all Democrat legislative candidates need a serious defeat. Obama emerged because Kerry style of copycatting by democrats was rejected. If all Democrat legislative candidates are handed a serious defeat, the next generation of Democrats will not be Republican copycats, but will be an actual alternative to Republicans.
In any meanwhile, "Liberal Pundits" should not encourage the fake democrats in any way. By doing that, they are seriously undermining their cause.
