Again, missing the point Billy. If writing on your hand is good enough
for Barbara Boxer it should be good enough for everyone?

It would be best if the Democrats lose seats in both Houses of
Congress but not enough to take control. A repeat of what happened in
1994 would make it more likely that Obama will be re-elected. Besides,
even if the Republicans took over they couldn't do anything because of
the filibuster and Obama's veto.

So it's best if the Republicans pick up five to seven seats in the
Senate to insure that the Democrats never get 60 votes on any
objectionable legislation (the current 41 seats is a bit precarious)
and finish the job in 2012.

That was Diane Feinstein. I'm afraid it was me who falsely accused
Barbara Boxer of bringing cheat notes on her hand to a debate.
