I think the dems need to read their history of the American Political System of the past 20 years when they govern: Don't overreach!

Clinton won in 1992 and the dems had the whole congress. They moved way left, and the people threw them out for a republican congress in 1994. The republicans went way right in 1995 and shut down the government, and Clinton sailed to reelection in 1996. Bush won in 2000 and then in 2004 and had a huge majority in congress, and went way right in 2005, and after Katrina and the War, they lost the congess in 2006, and now the congress is almost exactly the way it was back in 1992 when Clinton became President. Does anyone notice a trend here?

Hopefully Obama and the dems govern like centrists, cause the American people don't ever like when the parties try to appease their base. It will be interesting.....
