Midterms are going to be very good for Dems.

Next step is to dump Mittens Romney here in MA.

we just need to run a candidate outside of the party core- like Robert Reich or Joe Kennedy.

No more Harshbargers or Shannon O'Brien's, puh-lease.

Reich would've whupped mitt.

and anyway, i'd be surprised if mitt runs again. MA is too small a stage upon which to wear $10,000 suits. and he has a short little span of attention.
