And mid-terms should be interesting and probably quite dramatic with TP challenges threatened to Reps who voted yes yesterday. Let the fracture continue!
But just watching Booker's "presence" during his acceptance speech, I like him for President. Maybe not in 2016, but he definitely has a VERY bright future.
He's the perfect Democrat. Neighbors say he never - even lived in Newark. LOL
Hubby On Night ShiftApr 22, 2010 My hubby just recently switched back to 12-hour night shifts. Lately I have been putting a sticky note on the doorbell during the day that says, "Please do not ring doorbell until after 2 p.m." The other day I was told that this was rude by a neighbor. Can you believe that? If they need to get ahold of me bad enough, they can call my cell.
I feel like I have to constantly protect hubby's sleep time and our family time now, not to mention be left alone to do my job. ... And Here's Krugman On Another Significant Shift. Nov 07, 2012
So, for a while there during the campaign it seemed very iffy. But in the end, discipline and being on the right side of the issues prevailed. Yes, Elizabeth Warren won!
Oh, and that guy Obama too.
Tomorrow — or I guess today — comes the cleanup; when thousands, perhaps millions, of right-wing heads explode, it makes quite a mess. Also, notice that the polls were right. I wonder if I can get invited when Nate Silver is sworn in as president?

The reason is this. About 4 months or so ago I had a tooth that broke in half. It is one that has a filling. Went to the dentist and it cannot be repaired. It needs to be extracted and then I would get a bridge or partial. It is not in the front, it is in the middle (3rd tooth from my back molar - in other words if I smile or laugh you don't see it).  ... Down-ballot Blues Shift GOP Message Masters Aug 19, 2012 Within hours of the GOP VP announcement, Frank Luntz released a directive to campaign strategists on how to handle the inevitable field day they anticipated media and democrats would be hosting over Medicare and Social Security policy. It went something like this: Do not say: “entitlement reform, privatization, or every option is on the table.” The NRCC wants those phrases scoured from stump rhetoric and replaced with less innocuous visions, such as depicting an age ... In Shift, Feds Target Top Execs For Health Fraud'May 31, 2011 WASHINGTON -- It's getting personal now. In a shift still evolving, federal enforcers are targeting individual executives in health care fraud cases that used to be aimed at impersonal corporations. The new tactic is raising the anxiety level – and risks – for corporate honchos at drug companies, medical device manufacturers, nursing home chains and other major health care enterprises that deal with Medicare and Medicaid. Previously, if a company got caught, its lawy ... "GOP Platform Through The Years Shows The Party's ShiftSep 06, 2012 This article from the Washington Post is easy reading, very interesting, not offensive to anyone, and gives a quick historic overview through our lifetimes. As it says, "What it means to be a Republican has changed enormously over the past half-century."
The platforms of 1980 and 1992 are the biggies, the big "pivot points."
The watershed platform of 1980 introduces tax cuts and an increasingly critical attitude toward government. “The Republican Party declares war on governm ... Wow! Where To Even Begin? Nov 15, 2016 The consequences of the Trump-elect situation are really hitting the fan.

Electoral College Prediction Model Points To A Mitt Romney Win In 2012
Two University of Colorado professors, one from Boulder and one from Denver, have put together an Electoral College forecast model to predict who will win the 2012 presidential election and the result is bad news for Barack Obama. The model points to a Mitt Romney victory in 2012.

Libya No-fly Enforced, Airstrikes Begin.Mar 19, 2011 PARIS, March 19 (UPI) -- President Nicolas Sarkozy said Saturday French warplanes have begun enforcing the Libya no-fly zone, and military jets began airstrikes, military sources said.
The French defense minister said a French fighter fired at a Libyan military vehicle hours after Western and Arab League leaders met in Paris, the BBC reported.
