(1,484 posts)Now there's a match up I would like to see. Especially if the dems are able to hold onto the Senate while winning back the House in the current election. Then President Obama would have the opportunity to get our country started back on the road to healing in advance of a rethug attempt to win back the POTUS. Oh, and is it too much to also hope for an overturn of Citizen United during the next four years?
