Post Obama there will be two parties and guess what, both will be sane and neither will be republican imho. Wouldn't that be nice.

Post Obama there will be two parties and guess what, both will be sane and neither will be republican imho. A bipartisan NPR survey released today would seem to be at odds with your belief. The fact is that people are very concerned about the direction the country is headed -- while the "wrong direction" figures are "only" 63% versus the 80% during the election season (not surprising given Obama's message was much stronger than the Rs). Most of us do not want what these people are bringing the country to. Extremist liberals like you and teddyjack love it. But it is a mistake to impute that on the rest of America, as these figures clearly indicate. "But when asked whether they'd vote for the Republican or Democratic congressional candidate if the 2010 elections were held today, the result was a tie: 42-42." "There's concern about the spending plans and other paths that Obama and Democrats in Congress are taking, so I think you're seeing a little bit more move toward a balance," Bolger said. "People still want the president to succeed. He's got a 59 percent approval rating. He has a lot of intensity, particularly from his base. But that doesn't mean that people want one side to have a blank check."
