I suspect
that shrub and the gopers will do everything they can to avert a pre-election meltdown - including things they really don't want to do. Anything to keep from bringing about the election of Dems running on a platform of a New Deal.
I publish real estate and other business pubs. Most of my clients are realtors and builders, and most are repubs. If I had a nickel for every one of them who has said to me in the last year - "I'm a republican but...I'll vote for a democrat if he can stop the crashing, even Clinton" - I could retire. And the housing meltdown causes meltdowns in other industries - similar to the way diabetes causes other diseases in the body.
I am on my county's democratic committee. We have two sitting repub representatives who have, before now, been pretty much untouchable. I've been working with their challengers to craft rhetoric to highlight the gopers unwillingness to address the meltdown in housing. In my area, we are seeing so many businesses close and so many people lose their jobs. Voter registration is up. People are scared and pissed. I hope it is a recipe for a New Deal.
