1. "Even a broken clock is right twice a day" - just because it was a Republican rallying cry 16 years ago doesn't make it wrong. Heck - David Swanson (it doesn't get much more to the left) just recommended ending the filibuster, which was embraced by the Republican Senate majority just 4 years ago.

2. "It rains on both sides of the field" - I'll grant the infringement, but in return, we get fresh voices and a means of reducing the permenant beholdenness (if that's a word) to special interests that we see in the current crop of long serving officials.
