CJ, I don't think anyone cares about filibusters, etc.

The war goes on in Iraq, and the Dems are seen as kowtowing to a single-minded President. What, people are supposed to believe that the Democrats can't do anything more than just turn around and grab their ankles?

There's also the possibility that the Dems want to keep Bush tied up in Iraq just so that Hillary can have the best chance of winning. Low poll numbers for Congress? No problem, as long as Hillary makes it in the end!

re: The Republicans are the ones filibustering just about every bill of note.

Yeah remember "all we want is a simple up or down vote" and the "nuclear option"?
