Lest we forget!

It's important to remember that after 2008, the Republican party was also decried as dead. Within about 18 mos. the tea party arose and whiplashed America into the Repub take-back in 2010.

They may be out of touch, left-behind, and near-dead, but as with vampires, we must remain ever-vigilant for their recurrence!

There is no doubt that the R party will be back. Only a matter of time. If Dems do the correct thing we could take back the house in 2014 and if or when the economy picks up the Dems could still control the white house in 2016.
