where we are if we do not win back the House and keep the Senate.

That's the real challenge this year, (I almost said "next" year).

Goodness, we only have 10 months left to convince people NOT to vote back into Congress their Republican critters.

Then we also have to convince those among us who voted for Obama the first time that they need to hold their nose and do it again. After the extension of Bush tax cuts, after all the caving-in to Republicans in the House, after the NDAA indefinite detentions authorization, I think we shouldn't be too overconfident about Obama's chances in swing states.

Edited to add a NEW article on the NDAA and detentions authorization signing statement I guess Obama did the best he could do.
