Change the congressional term to 4 years for house and 8 years for the senate.

2. It's the only way the party in power can claim ObSTRucTiOnISt !!!

That way they don't have to actually do anything for people

3. Just like the filibuster rules, you hate it when it hurts you, love it when it benefits you.

We loved the midterms in 2006 for good reason.

There's an ebb and flow in all things politics.

[Seeking Serenity]

6. Tommy, sorry about your home states of MD and FL

I honestly believe that some DUers, if the question were put to them, particularly after election losses, would actually favor (or at least favor on DU) a constitutional amendment banning the Republican Party and making the Democratic Party the only legal political party in America.

I guess no one wants to hear of pendulums and ebbs and flows and it's going to be OK and so forth on the morning after a loss. I guess I've said enough.

4. I think what you really want is to eliminate losing elections.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. That woud have to be done by Constitutional amendment

so don't hold your breath.
