Even if I make a comfortable living considering what most people make nowadays, I am not a millionaire and can't buy myself a congressman I can then manipulate to get pork and contracts in return.
I did what I could do with my little donations to Obama, Glassman (running against Kyl), Goddard (against Brewer) and even Alan Grayson.
My wife and I mailed our straight D tickets last week. We have no illusions. Maybe Penny Kotterman, running for SOPI, has a chance, but that's it.
I engaged in "healthy" discussions with family members who turned against Obama because he did not solve Bush's mess in 2 years and because "he is for the Muslims" (!!!!). Got them to sway a little bit but not too far. They love Brewer. Go figure!
I am not going to lose my sanity or my sleep over this loss, if we lose or not.
I am instead going to watch them tea baggers make fools of themselves and the GOP try to do something. I actually predict the job situation will get worse, with a second dip, and what next? People will wake up again?
Maybe that's what we need if we want Obama to win in 2012.
As for Obama, I am expecting him to realize that his base is not to be mocked, ignored and messed with.
