"Democrats have cut in half the GOP's early-September advantage on the question of which party's candidates voters say they will support on Nov. 2. They have also made small gains on the question of which party people trust to handle big issues, such as the economy and health care... President Obama's approval rating has rebounded to where it was in July."
But: "Despite these apparent signs of improvement, the new Post-ABC poll suggests that Democrats remain at a significant disadvantage... Among likely voters, Republicans hold a six-point edge, 49 percent to 43 percent, on the congressional ballot. At this time four years ago, Democrats led by 12 points. Then, Democrats also held a 19-point advantage when voters were asked which party they trusted to deal with the country's main problems."
The Post's Greg Sargent also digs up these numbers: "Forty-nine percent think the GOP would lead the country in a 'new direction,' versus only 43 percent who think the GOP would return to Bush policies. Apologies for repeating this, but the simple fact is that the GOP may have already achieved separation from the party of Bush that ran the economy into the ground. Voters may not be buying a core Dem message in the numbers Dems need."

Don't count your chickens before they hatch!
We still have 28 days before the election and the ONLY poll that COUNTS is the one at the BALLOT BOX!
The more the insane clown posse 'talks' the more ground they are going to LOSE I for one will never believe that American's are dumb enough to elect a 'witch' - WWE steroid CEO & another CEO who hires illegal housekeepers and the rest of the cast of characters that want to cut minumum wage!
The best is yet to come...
Better to recyle a former Governors who started a State to ruins? Better to have a liar who doesn't know if they went to Vietnam? That is who we have in office and what we are trying to change. I'll take an imperfect "witch" any day who will try and undo what is wrong, not your type of person who will only perpetuate the ills of this Country.
Unfortunately some in this election boil down to the lesser of the evils. Neither Brown nor Whitman has a plan or the answer to California's problems. Whitman says she has a plan but when pressed to explain her plan she just says she has a plan. Yeah, right she has a plan!
The difference is that Brown has experience as governor, had an actual budget surplus during his time in office. Education was honored and he lived much like a monk without the limo and the mansion. I would like to see that lying witch of a Whitman do the same. I wonder how good she can speak Spanish. In order to give orders to her illegal alien housekeeper did she need a translator or does she speak enough Spanish to direct her employee? We need to know this.
It would be so nice if the posters on this site (Feisty Redhead, Bev and Jody) would tell the complete story. But as normal they have left out key facts of various stories.
Regarding Ms. Whitman (I don't live in CA and can't vote for /against her) if you would any research regarding the story. The maid lied to the employment agency about her employment status. When they received the letter from SSN they made an error in expecting the illegal to check any thing out. So they should have been more diligent after they heard from SSN but they made a mistake in trusting her.
They also neglected to tell you that the maid's lawyer is Gloria Allred a die hard supporter of Jerry Brown.
So for those of you who just have to call someone a liar, make sure its the right person you are calling the liar, the maid.
Gee, Janet, I must have quite a reputation since I didn't even post a comment on Whitman today. Might as well live up to the accusation of ignoring the whole truth. It is the employer's job to ensure they have hired someone here legally. The fact that Whitman's husband wrote on the form but neither of them bothered to follow up with their maid speaks volumes. Since the social security sent the letter, it was the responsibility of the employer to check it out, to question the employee. That didn't happen. The question those defending Whitman should be asking is--why?
"The fact that Whitman's husband wrote on the form but neither of them bothered to follow up with their maid speaks volumes."
How do you know that Whitman or her husband didn't ask here house keeper, who is apparently a habitual liar, about her alien status? And if they did what do think the maid's response was? BTW the letter form the SS office merely asked for more information about Diaz.
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/09/2003-letter-suggests-whitman-knew-housekeeper-undocumented/
"Whitman claims she never received the letter, but Allred said it included a note scrawled by Whitman's husband asking the housekeeper to "please check this."
On top of this the SS office in six years never followed up on their request for more information? Why not?
Why don't you count those chickens on Nov 3rd and come back here and tell us how it came out ?
Nov 3rd will be a black day for all the Socialist Dems that post on this board...
So let me get this straight... according to Whitman she was a trusted & loved employee up until Meg found out she was illegal (which BTW WHY didn't dear Meg turn her into INS... but I digress)
But according to Tracy - the housekeeper Nicki... IS a habitual liar...
Okee Dokee I think I've got it now... lmao...
Janet, one more thought on the innocence of Whitman. Why would either Meg Whitman or her husband write a note on the social security letter telling their maid to check into it, most likely she could not read English well enough to understand what that meant. Why not speak to her directly?
It is rather presumptuous to claim that because she is illegal she cannot read English. There are so many illegals who are being welcomed to stay by the DEMOCRATS in both the Senate and Congress because they have been in our country so long they read and write our language better than some college graduates. Their amnesty bills keep getting shot down in congress as the Republicans (rightly and CORRECTLY) keep telling illegals go back and GET IN LINE! They won’t of course, they want the free ride on our dime the DEMS promise them.
As for Whitman, she is being treated unfairly and Gloria Allred is going to make this maid have to face her deportation sooner than later now. Brown and Allred set this up and it is more than obvious. When Allred was asked about all this she claims it isn’t political; yet, has no plan to take Whitman to court over abuses to the maid and wages she deserves; she just wants Whitman to ‘stop lying’? Sounds only political because if she cared for her client there would be a court motion filed.
Gee, Janet, and why did Ms. Whitman wait until she started to campaign for Governor to fire her . . . and tell this, in her words, trusted employee who was part of the family that this employee never knew her? The law says it is the employer's responsibility to verify citizenship, they received a letter indicating there may be a problem and did not follow it up. E-Verify was available and if Ms. Whitman was such an astute businesswoman, she should have used that to check this woman out . . . but she did not.
All of that is kind of small potatoes beside the fact that she is a huge proponent of punishing employers who do not check employment eligibility of the people they hire.
Change for the Dems is coming. Republicans will look stupid when they have to explain where did they go wrong; AGAIN!! Scratch that; they'll launch another campaign of doom and gloom i.e. the President and the left is destroying what they know as America. Only, because they don't understand history.
If Republicans blow it again, then yes, they too will be out. But for now, they are a better alternative than the Democrats, who have accelerated the demise of this once great Country. At some point, it has to change and until a politician (of any party) "gets it", we will keep voting them out and replace them with a person who will vote for what the majority of normal Americans want.
Dave,
It constantly amazes me that people like you just don't get it. There are 435 Reps and 100 Senators, each with THEIR own agenda, making up our Congress. They don't care about what you, I,or any other poster on here thinks/wants. They are owned by big business, the wealthy, etc. That's who they answer too. You are given a preselected groups of candidates. Their campaign funds comes from their owners. The one thought that no one on here wants to think about and discuss is this: every person who complains about how bad Congress is would love to serve in it under the present rules. There isn't one person on here who wouldn't love to make the money they make, to have the medical and retirement benefits they get, to have the access to the world of power they have. Not one. Once they're there they want to stay.
So keep on voting them out and deluding yourself that you're voting in someone who'll "vote for what the majority of normal Americans want". How funny.
Yep, we are currently enjoying a lovely 700,000 to one representative ration for Congress/Sentate. It is a monarchy.
This is the equivalent of having only 3 people in the first Congress to represent over 2 million people. The founders would have laughed at calling that representation. They actually had WAY better representation BEFORE the Revolutionary war than we currently have.

Change for the Dems is coming.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It sure is !!! A lot of the Dem House members will be selling insurance come January...
Liberals,
Keep whistling past the graveyard. Tell yourselves whatever you need to help get you through the next few weeks.
John:
Keep pumping up the expectations, John. They are sky high already, so if the Republicans don't sweep every race on 11/2 Dems can claim some measure of victory.
Meanwhile, when the caliber of Republican candidates requires at least one to advertise that she's "not a witch," well, I think the Republican talent pool is nearly empty. You might want to lower your expectations for the post election period as well. There's a damn good chance that you'll be disappointed even if your guys/gals win every race.
We could say that about republicans, too; and those who are willing to trust that republicans will "change" and do better. They haven't changed since Reagan--tax cuts, keep spending, add to the debt, deregulate everything, why worry--all will be well in Oz.
If the republicans do take control they will show themselves to be a party with no new ideas and the country will not get better and may very well get worse. I have no confidence in the rightie whack jobs and the tea partiers and if they do take over, the country will see they mistake they made in voting them in.
The GOP's new direction for the USA is completely broken rather than one foot in the grave and the other one slipping.
To John 1888246 - when you go to vote just keep telling youself that the republicans are NOT in the back pocket of big business and that they do care about the middle class - whew I could hardly type that without laughing.
The big money from the anonymous corporate donors is pouring into the RNC and tea party campaigns. They would not spend these precious millions of shareholders monies if they did not have an overwhelming concern for the common welfare of regular folks, would they?
Democrats should make a commitment to go to the polls and bring at least a carload of friends, neighbors, or relatives with them. Many people just need to be reminded that it is election day, or maybe they need a ride, or a babysitter for an hour. Nobody in my family circle will have any excuses to not vote (or any peace if they don't). Republicans have money for ads, but a phone call and a ride to the polls can counter that.
Dems will do what they always do...pick up the homeless, the illiterate, the union workers, etc and put them on bus to the polling place...tell them who to vote for and then buy them a beer...judging from the Obama voters being interviewed as they left the polling place in 2008 most could not read or write. Over half couldn't name the vice president...less than one in ten could name ONE justice of the Supreme Court
But they are smart enough to not vote republican!
So, osamaidiot, the homeless, illiterate and union workers shouldn't have the right to vote? Is that what you are saying? And you are a liar about the exit polling.
Personally, I think the election is trending Democrat. Ive seen 2 reports where the DEMs need only to win a small % of the toss up elections, assuming there are no upsets in the lock, likely and leaning categories! I think when all is said and done, voters dont trust the gop and dont like both what they've been doing for the last 4 years AND what their plans are for the future. People are NOT going to put up with discussions about cuttling/eliminating.priovatizing SS, Medicare etc becuz of a budget crisis they deliberately caused for just that purpose.
Hey Mark Murray: Where's that story on "starve the beast"??? It isnt partisan, it's NEWS to a LOT of people!
Buyer's REMORSE has kicked in and the MAJORITY now see that Obama's/Dems Policies have been a Disaster... Just like 2008 Voters will be Voting for a "Change". We don't want what has been Shoved down our throats or whats to come from the Party of Uncontrollable Spending/Entitlements Galore, no matter how much the Minority (maybe 25% of voters)scream, whine and complain. Man up, Take control of your own life... Limited Government/Border Enforcement, and no new Entitlements - Repeal ObamaCare and start over in a bipartisian Bill, that's what the Majortity of the People want!
The majority trusts Obama more than democrats or republicans in Congress. Every poll I have seen confirms this.
The word is getting out among the senior citizens how the reckless Republican party wants to take the Social Security funds they paid into for their entire lives and put them into at risk investments by 'privitizing' it, which means giving the money to their financial services industry donors. I think the reckless Republicans might even lose in Kentucky this year. Thanks Rand Paul!
Your post is a perfect example pf Democrat ignorance. First, Republicans have made no such statements. Second, I wish they would allow those of us who are intelligent enough to invest our own money to do so. I can understand that as a Democrat you're not smart enough to go out and buy annuities or invest in long term bonds, but remember not everybody is that stupid.
It is actually already being done in at least one place. GOOGLE Galveston, Texas-Social Security and you can educate yourself. They have been investing their own money since the early eighties and current retirees are receiving about twice what they would have under Social Security.
When you try to comment on things that are beyond your small little Democrat mind you only show the world your ignorance.
According to a Newsweek poll last week: likely voters, Dems 50%, Repubs 42%. We shall see Nov 2.
NEWSWEEK ???!!!! Why am I not surprised ? Most polls with any credibility show Republicans ahead by anywhere fron 8 to 13 points... NEWSWEEK ???
The midterm elections will be a win-win situation for Obama. If the Republicans win enough seats to take over Congress it will only strengthen Obama's chances in 2012 after the general public gets a whiff of republican control when nothing is achieved except for proposals that will support the wealthy and further damage the middle class. If the Dems maintain control of Congress in the midterm elections it will be a sign that the general public is not buying the rhetoric being offered by the republicans and the tea partiers nor any of the generic spin that is being expressed and relied upon by the numerous potential wanna-be right wing 2012 Presidential contenders.
I see Obama's approval numbers have gone back up a tad to what they were in July. Getting out among the people and holding conversations with them in their neighborhoods and back yards has helped and is the key to his future success.
Welcome back, CA. Good points about the election. I do think the polls are tightening. One thing about the Tea Party candidates that has been good, they have revealed the truth about the republican agenda. People like social security, medicare and the VA--they don't want anyone messing with it. I always think of the TP rally signs--no government health care, keep your hands off my medicare.
Who's Poll did this mis-information come from....
The Washington Post & ABC
Their both far left of center, I don't trust any poll's comming from these two left wing newspapers....
We the American people reject your finding and you !
Glad to see you seem to think you speak for all "we" the American people. Another miscue by those on the far right that will come back and haunt them.
Good to see you back in the fight CA.
Hello Chris. Been spending some time on the sports blogs defending the Tide aganist all and any naysayers who keep predicting Bama's demise every weekend. So far, so good. And certainly a lot less harsh bickering. College football blogs are no less emotional than what one finds here, but at least there is a bit more respect shown between the bloggers from opposing teams. They understand that at any given time their chosen team can get knocked off. So although there is of course rhetoric, it is a bit tempered. And as I can recall, no blogger seems to attack with pedjudice another teams' player similar to what we observe here regarding the backwards logic attacks against Obama.
Can't say as I blame you for that move CA. Too bad our current political discourse won't learn from your analogy. It's like there is no common ground left anymore. Voters are on a kamikaze mission for their side.
Still good to see back in the "pit".

Hard to imagine a hard core Bama fan that wears Liberal panties.... Bear Bryant would puke...
captain: but you trust Rasmussen with a LONG history as major gop contributors AND advisors eh??? <giggle>
Does Barney Frank like tea Baggers??????
barney Frank has been known to enjoy some teabagging on many occasion according to the male prostitutes who worked out of his DC townhouse.
Barney Frank...the gay Elmer Fudd of Washington. (be vewy vewy quiet)
I've already voted. No anger here.
Mark Battey,
Educate yourself. PLEASE! And quit spewing the Democratic party line on the Republican's ideas regarding Social Security. Talk about fear-mongering! Scare the CR@P out of those retirees!
This is such OLD news but most of you 'progressives' still refuse to listen to what is being said.
Once again... (1) Benefits to current recipiants will not be touched, (2) Changes are only being proposed to individuals age 55 and younger, (3) Privatization is only available on a portion of an individual's account and (4) Privatization is STRICTLY VOLUNTARY!
For a party that likes to refer to itself as 'progressive' you Democrats sure do like to stick to the status quo. Unfortunately taking your do-nothing approach will only perpetuate the problems.
WAY TO THINK OF PROGRESSIVE SOLUTIONS!
If you believe it will be voluntary and only partial, McCain will sell you some ocean front property in Arizona. Here's what I say--keep your republican hands off social security and medicare; the last thing we need is to place either in the hands of private business for profit-making purposes.
You forgot something--the American people rejected President Bush's idea to privatize social security in 2005, resoundly rejected it; good thing, too because Wall Street collapsed in 2008. If privatized, 15-20% of the money invested will be spent on broker fees. We have private retirement accounts in the form of IRAs, 401Ks, savings accounts. Social security should be left alone.
More Democrat ignorance .... Dems are stealing from the American worker by not allowing them to invest their own money...Even a Democrat is smart enough to go out and buy a savings bond, for God sake.
GOOGLE Galveston, Texas-Social Security and educate yourself libs...
What is your point? No one is stopping anyone from investing their money any way they choose. I am a "dumb democrat" that has an IRA, pension fund and buy savings bonds, plus money is taken out of my paycheck for social security. All of the other options supplement my SS. If I depended solely on the stock market or an IRA, and we go through another down turn close to my retirement, as it stands now, I can rely on my social security benefits.
Lets look at your theory. If I invested you "own" money and because of reasons beyond your control (such as a Madoff scheme) what will you do then? We, the American people, (at least those with compassion) will have to take care of you, because there will be NO CUSHION, for you to fall back on. Perhaps we democrats are not so dumb after all.
The strength of a society is how it takes care of its elderly; those who have labored and help to make this country great. The ones who backs we climb on. When ones gets on in age after working hard and contributing to a society, he or she should have a secure cushion to lean upon if all else fails. If the seniors were wise in their youth, they put something aside, in an IRA, 401K, certificates of deposits, treasury or savings bonds to supplement social security.
We did put some away. However, the last administration wiped half of my 401K out. That is why I will contintue to vote Dem. to protect my Social Security and my 401K.
Actually you can thank Barney Frank and Cris Dodd for most of that...and the Democrat Congress that has been spending like a drunken sailor for the last 4 years....check and see what your 401k balance was when the Dems took control of Congress in Jan 2007... and while you're at it check the unemployment numbers in Jan 2007 when the Dems took control...oh, and check the national debt figures for Jan 2007 when the Dems took control...get back to us on your findings...
OsamaObama,
Thanks for a great post. It seems that these liberals actually believe their own B.S. I will soon have the honor as a Nevada resident to cast my vote against Harry Reid and any other Democrat running for anything. The main goals:
Gain a majority or at least parity in congress to hold Obama and his agenda in limbo till his useless term expires. This will at least limit the future damage to our country, but it won't repair all the damage he has caused already. Then in 2012, elect a REAL president with REAL business experience. Then maybe we will start to pull out of this horrible Obama recession.
The Democrats would have been much better served to remove their incumbents and come up with a new direction and plan involving a great deal of financial conservative things. I just don't see how they can keep trying to sell these same failed people involved in the worst meltdown since 1938. They just can't seem to grasp cutting government size and spending. They don't even what to be caught openly discussing it. At least the GOP had a great deal of turnover and some fiscally conservative people and plans. Whether they carry them out is a whole other thing.
You have a choice to go bankrupt as a Welfare state or a Warfare state. There is no difference when you are broke because you actually could never afford either. Neither party can grasp their agendas are doomed.
I would like to see 1/3 independents and third party candidates just to block BOTH parties from a majority but America does not know anything but 2 party ping pong. Two more years of this irresponsible spending both parties are determined to do will destroy our currency and credit lines as a country.
Why is the DOJ blocking Military Absentee ballots? Why isn't MSNBC covering this important story?

Re-post
I repeat...anyone can invest in securities that have little to no risk...treasury bonds, US savings bonds, etc...and you will come out miles ahead of what Social Security returns...I repeat...see: Galveston, Texas...If you are serious about taking care of the elderly, stop stealing their Social Security and let them invest part (I would prefer ALL) of their Social Security themselves...
Dems turn this around and make it sound like they're doing you a favor by paying a pittance on Social Security...A 25 year old today making $50,000 a year would be a fool not to invest his/her Social Security themselves rather than allowing the government to use it for a small return on investment...
You have not address those who are making considerable less than the 25 year old earning $50,000 a year. The problem with your theory is that you are only looking at one scenario. You have to look at all income brackets. For that 25 year old, he or she should also invest in his or her 401K, IRA or other avenues of savings. However, for that 25 year old who is making $25,000 and barely making ends meet, any extra money in his paycheck will more likely go towards living expenses. For that person, SS coming directly out of his/her paycheck is a good way to assure that when he or she retires they will have something, (not as much as the one making $50,000), to live on.
The Washington Post/ABC News poll is the biggest hack job. Look at the polling data on this. First off they polled only 100 people mostly in the East where polls like Gallup and Rasmussen poll 1,000 to 2,000 people. Secondly by their own data, they polled 25 Republicans, 35 Democrats and 40 independents. That is really a balanced poll. But even when you rig the poll you can't get any closer. How did Gallup get the generic ballot up to 13 point in favor of the Republicans? They went to "most likely to vote" which is what Ramussen uses and has been proved very accurate. What we are seeing is a "ginned up" surge by the Democrats to try to get some interest in their base.
Is the New Republican Right Controlled by the Saudis?
As America tries to get out of two wars in Central Asia, sold by Republicans as making us "more secure," we have instead energizing terrorists, giving them an American target within easy reach and tens of thousands of young Americans are paying the price, either dead or wounded. It is a fact that 19 of the attackers and all the money for 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia, so why aren't we engaged in a war there?
To find the answer, you need only FOLLOW THE MONEY. Our nation imports 900,000 barrels of oil a day from Saudi Arabia giving them tremendous influence over the Big Oil companies. If the Saudis were to withhold that oil or the supply was disrupted, not only would it cripple the American economy, but it could bankrupt the multinational oil companies. The recent "Citizens United" decision by the conservative Supreme Court has made it possible for Big Oil and their Saudis partners to secretly donate vast sums of money to Republican candidates in these mid term elections trying to wrestle control of the Congress from Democrats. Why would they do that?
What is the one thing that Big Oil and the oil exporting countries fear the most? What can eliminate our dependence on imported oil? Alternative Energy, and the Obama administration has already started down that path. Using funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the President as he promised in his campaign, has created or expanded a number of new industries that are reducing the amount of oil we import redirecting that money to jobs in America. Alternative fuels including Ethanol and Algae oil, Wind and Solar power, plug-in electric vehicles and advanced auto batteries are a few of the new technologies that are coming on line right now funded by the Reinvestment Act.
Some Republicans have already reacted. Joe Barton the ranking Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee and the largest recipient of Big Oil donations is already attacking energy efficiency and alternative energy for repeal. He even wants to repeal the energy efficiency standard passed by the Bush administration in 2007 that has saved Americans billions. You will remember Joe Barton as the Representative that apologized to BP and attacked the President for demanding a 20 billion dollar fund to protect the American taxpayer after the Gulf spill. Who is this guy working for?
And then there is the voice of the new radical right, Fox News. The question of their influence over the Republican party was answered with their donation of 2 million dollars to GOP groups and the advice that Sarah Palin gave to Christine O'Donnell, the Tea party candidate from Delaware, "speak through Fox News". I hope Sarah Palin knows the top two stockholders in News Corp, which set the editorial policy, were not even born in the United States. Rupert Murdock with a controlling interest in News Corp was born in Australia and His Royal Highness Alwaleed bin Talal the largest single stockholder in News Corp is the Saudi prince that is sponsoring the mosque near Ground Zero. I cannot speculate if Sarah Palin knows she is making a Saudi prince even richer but her blind support for Big Oil and their Saudi partners is clearly undermining our national security.
When a legislator or governor puts the interests of a multinational power ahead of their oath to the United States in exchange for donations, to our nations detriment, that is treason.
I guess the real question should be ....does your mother allow you to pick out your own clothes ? That was about the most convoluted, assinine drivel that I've seen lately....
just to remind everyone. the republicans under bush doubled the budget and the deficit in 8 years with unfunded tax cuts and 2 wars. they stole our privacy and freedoms which we will not ever get back. they are spineless and fiscally irresponsible
Let me remind you that Obammy has outspent every US president in history - COMBINED !! And he did it all on credit so your kids and their kids and their kids will spend their lives paying it off...all so he could bring Communism to America....no thanks. See you at the polls on Nov 2nd......
Cite some reliable sources to back your claims. We are not talking about projections, but actually spending. Reference your (credible) sources that prove that President Obama has outspent EVERY US president in history COMBINED.
No critical thinking, right thinking, sane thinking person believes that the president is trying to bring communism to America. This is the propaganda that the Republican party and others are spewing to incite fear in the populace. To repeat your words
Osama, let me remind you why.
It was the only option. Weather we had a democrat or a republican, it was the only option after Bush. So I say once again, If you want to elect people from the party who got us in this mess in the first place, have done nothing to help us out of it, have done everything to stop the changes Obama said he would do to get us out of it, then by all means vote republican. Don't give our president the tools to get things done, open the door for a few more years of stalled polotics because the Rebulicans won't work with Democrats on anything, and pat yourselves on the back for putting us back where we started at the end of the Bush presidancy.
If we vote republicans, we deserve the mess that's comming. Which will be bigger then any of our problems we have now.
Whats real scary, the republicans taking over, its back to square one...God what does it take to wake up the American people....Maybe the thought of not having nothing, there wont be any thing left...The rich get richer with the help of the party of no, along with them dumping money in the wallets of these crooks who have more money than most...but the taxpayer excepts, no jobs, hunger, shelter, etc...just so they can say they elected this wonderful person whose more concerned about himself and party and your vote got him there........What a wonderful country.
gains hmmmmm where,,,,the party of no and the party of no balls, tell me where the gains are......its all about parties and left overs for the American people.....There are still many on going ethic issue that if that was ous we would be in jail,,,,,but as usual there are another set of laws........Fed up and there should be a fifty two state march on Washington, without politicians, who are great at jumping on and then off the boat.....oh well my vote is for anyone not affiliated with either party....
