When Dems have the presidency and the congress in the modern era, they tend to overextend - a lot, and quickly. They then get bitch slapped by the public who basically says... "we know you said you'd do all this shit, but we did not believe it and just wanted something different from the R's".
I am predicting Virginia goes R this time, Ivan. Will your rend your garments and pull some hear in response to that outcome in your home state?
