That is exactly my point. The most aggressive agenda will happen before these elections.
If they keep the senate, then they will just carry on with their agenda. By lolly gagging until the election, they risk losing the senate, Obozo and the liberal socialist will become neutered, thus halting their march toward a socialist state.
Why would they not hit the gas pedal at this point...that would be my advise to the conservatives if they were in power.
And yet if they overplay, they risk being sloppy about it.
