For quite some time now pundits have been predicting a Republican landslide in which they take over the Congress. While I, like many other Democrats have been disappointed in President Obama's performance up until now, when we think of the alternative we are appalled. Yes, Obama oversold what he could do because he believed that he could persuade Republicans. He couldn't even get them to say maybe. Obama's continuation of the Afghanistan war and his hiring of Wall Streeters for his economic group turned off many voters on the Left, but I think they should realize that the other party would and will do the same. And do all the things those on the Left still oppose.
I do think that the Democrats have a better grass roots organization, and Election Day will come down to who does a better job of getting out the vote. I also think that the American citizenry can see behind the Tea Party candidates.
While President Bush and his Republican party was running our country into the ground where were these Tea Party patriots. In most midterm elections people who are disappointed with their elected officials sit on their hands and do not come out to vote. This election is different. The hatred that seems to be coming out demands that people come out to vote.
So go out and vote for Jim Hall in Westchester, Barbara Boxer In California, Russ Feingold in Wisconsin, Harry Reid in Nevada, and anyone who can help get through the Obama agenda we supported with such enthusiasm only two years ago.

I hope you are right. Obama has disappointed me, but I do feel that we must try our best to vote for the Dems and get the Tea Party out.
