Elections 2010 LIVE Updates

In 2008, we gave Democrats the best that's possible, not just for now, but for the foreseeable future, given the political climate & ideological layout of the population geographically, the state of our educational system and a media that keeps voters ill-informed, AND the rules of government which have been gamed to keep the status quo of corporate-control of government and legislation written by lobbyists.



Democrats have refused to use the tools they've had available to them to get real Democratic legislation and reforms through, or even change the rules that they claim are hamstringing them.



With Citizens United, corporate 'personhood', and 2 political parties unmotivated to outlaw any of it, 2008's 60-member Democratic Caucus with 2 Independents & 7 Blue Dogs was the best it was ever going to be.



The fact is: Obama deliberately sabotaged any chance of delivering on the change he & Democrats were put into power to deliver, with his 'go slow'-bipa­rtisanship approach with Republicans who made it crystal clear that they wouldn't "cooperate", weren't interested in bipartisanship, and would vote lockstep in opposition to everything Democratic during the 2008 campaign, & even before then, with the 2006 victories that put Democrats in control of both Houses of Congress.
