• Phone Call we all missed: MB:  Uh Andrew?  Michael Bennett here.  I hear you are thinking of running for Congress.  Really?  Really?  Baw ha ha ha!!!  No, really?   AR:  Oh, I don't know, I thought I'd test the waters. MB:  Let me tell you sumpten straight up Andrew....I know members of Congress, members of Congress are friends of mine, as God is my witness, you sir, will never be a Congressman. AR:  Really?  I'm willing to sell my apartment to raise money to do it. MB: You can sell your mother for all I care, last thing I need is a pansy-ass move-on, occupy wall street sympathizer gummin things up for me here.  I'm still running on this "Aw shucks, Mr. Bennett goes to Washington" thing here.  How will that look if you come up here stealing my  "I hate Washington" thunder?  Besides,  there's a certain Washington Post columnist you screwed over in college that has a long memory he's fond of sharing with a lot of folks up here. AR:  Yeah, you got a point.  I'll stick around here and maybe run for Governor against Hick. MB:  Yeah, you just go ahead and do that.  That'd be just fine.  

• I have to disagree with the premise that Democrats will be "under steady fire over the economy". That's not even close. Yes, the recovery's been horribly slow................and it's put all of us under intense economic pressure as a result.............but the fault lies in republican obstruction to the Jobs Bill, the Second Stimulus, the Middle Income Tax Cut Extension, the ending of the Bush Tax Cuts for the top 1%, and the 305 plus and counting filibusters these republican snakes have thrown up the last 3 years. Many Americans.............the hillbilly half and the top 1% to nail the demographic.........fail to see the forest through the trees. There's the goobers buying the gays, guns, God, and phony patriotism con the repubs are feeding them, the crazy anti-choice zealots, the anti union morons that don't understand that to live in the middle class a person must make a living wage, the anti education munchers, the "survivor", "dancing with the stars", and " keeping up with the kardashians" sycophants, and the elderly white christian anti "entitlement" grinches.........who also happen to be on "entitlements. No denying they make up a chunk of the population, under or just plain, out and out uninformed zombies, easily led by the nose toward conservative positions and mouthpieces. But the nation is by and large paying attention to the economic forces, trends, consequences and the reasons why. The Democrats need to and will reinforce the message that the only way out of the current republican caused and continuing recession is to not only reelect the President, but also an absolutely filibuster proof Senate and overwhelmingly Democratic House of Representatives. The hillbilly half will vote with the 1%, as they always do. Dummies one and all. But the majority of American voters will use their common sense and end this republican reign of terror. Romanov would have won, and Miklosi has a break even chance. When even Coffman's crazy white conservative christian zany populated district is trending away from the republicans, to the good guys, you know the winds of change favor the Democrats.
