I think that one thing that paved the way for democratic success was Dr. Dean's forward looking-ness. That we were ahead of the curve looking forward. Anticipating.
It just hit me. Sitting here wearing an Eric Metcalf Browns Jersey, watching them win in a thrilling 7-6 game (no DVR so had to watch commercials)- I cannot believe how much outside groups are pouring into Ohio. THIS IS THE BLUEPRINT FROM CITIZENS UNITED. IT'S NOT GOING AWAY.
There isn't one commercial Break, not even in watching the Giants' game, where there is not some ad attacking Brown by Crossroads, or whomever. This race should be a joke. I believe Sherrod Will win, but when we get complacent whether it is long term or short term, they just get crazier and emboldened (both as citizens and who we elect). So I ask rhetorically, and hope there are answers and discussion and not just (hope a judge gets on the bench, as that would presuppose a Congress not bought that passes a bill) . . .
