You can't do jacksquat if you're on the outside looking in It seems you can't do jacksquat unless you have an overwhelming majority, whereas the Democrats advance their agenda with a minority in the house, and a Republican in the WH. Or maybe W is advancing his agenda, it is just that it is nearly identical to the Democrats.

How about the story of GW cutting a deal with the Dems, to let the pardon crimes of Bubba go unpunished, or uncommented upon? Go team, we will win by surrendering.

Other than suggesting preplacing "nearly identical" with "way too close for my tastes," this analysis has serious merit.

Care to provide some proof for that?
