mccain tipped his hand: Democrats need to win the Senate, House, and Presidency

to get anything done.

He admitted that they would filibuster any Supreme Court nominee from a Democratic President. I would venture the same will be true about healthcare, climate change, and the budget.

Regardless of how high Hillary's polls go, we need to win all three levels of government OR phase more republican obstruction.

McCain ADMITTEDS THIS publicly. His stupid words should energize ALL of us to get out there and to vote and WIN big.

to vote for him. And although it's possible that will happen, I think (hope) it's unlikely.

Of course, I'm already energized and enthusiastic!

a vote for McCain is a vote for gridlock.

Who would be sitting on the Supreme Court if Democrats behaved this way?

There would be no Supreme Court unless Justices were immortal. Nothing but filibustered nominees until the end of time. McCain is making a case against his party and against minority rule through obstruction. Indefensible.

...oncology ward on live TV in joker face and blow it up afterwards and still get re SELECTED back into their districts because the way they were drawn.

Looks like Obama and Holder are going to start a movement against gerrymandering which would be a good thing for BOTH sides, I wouldn't want dems to have unfettered and unchecked powers like the GOP does now less they turn into a left form of them.
