There was no way that START wasn't going to get passed. That was a no brainer. There was no way that Republicans were going to let themselves get caught on the other side of that issue.
What the passage of 9/11 Responders, DADT tells us is that when Obama and Democrats want to get something passed, they do (and we're going to have to wait to see just how and when Obama's going to let that be inplemented). So talk of Democratic politicians having no spines is greatly exaggerated, just like Obama's timidity is myth: He's plenty tough when it comes to standing up to the Democratic base. Also exaggerated is that there's no way to get the Democratic and Republican votes needed to pass legislation.
Getting Democratic voters (and Obama's 'most ardent supporters') to understand that Democratic politicians have been taking us all for suckers and patsies is the most immediate problem and the challenge.
And shouting down Obama's 'most ardent supporters', his apologists who blame everyone but Obama and Democrats for failing to achieve what Democratic voters put Obama and Democrats into office for, what Democratic politicians claim are our shared objectives and goals, needs to be the first order of every day from now on.
