Uh, hold on here a minute, Pat. The last time I checked turnout in Ohio it wasn't the Lefties who gave the state to Obama's side of the equasion. It was the moderate independent voters who ran as fast as they could from Republicans and the scary economic mess we're in. Even turnout wasn't stellar in Ohio.
The Lefties got their "pick." It was Obama. And now Obama needs to govern from the center, and so does the Democratic congress, if they have any expectations of being re-elected in the congressional mid-terms, and Obama to a second term.
I'm amazed Pat would even think of such a thing. I'm sure Obama has plenty of left-wing representation among his advisors. We don't need one in the Cabinet. We need people with realistic solutions, not grandiose ideas about funding yet more paternalistic, touchy-feel-good programs.
Obama wasn't elected by the Left. Got that? He sure has.
