Once again in 2010 the safest (elected) thing to be was an incumbent:
"Out of 435 seats, 351 incumbents will be returning to the House in January.
"In the Senate, out of 100 seats, 77 incumbents will return in January.
"As the libertarian Joel Hirschorn puts it, 'Welcome back to the reality of America's delusional democracy where career politicians will continue to foster a corrupt, inefficient and dysfunctional government because that is what the two-party plutocracy and its supporters want for their own selfish reasons.'"
Think how different this conversation would be if that "two party plutocracy" had been challenged two weeks ago.
Just for a minute wrap your minds around the difference 100 - 200 newly elected Greens and Libs would have made in the House.
How about the Change 30 - 40 Green, Independent or Libertarian Senators could deliver?
Maybe ALL Republicans AND Democrats have outlived their usefulness to this Republic?
Time for a Real Mutiny
Problem: 100 aren't "returning" to the Senate. 2/3rds weren't up for reelection.
