4. I couldn't even vote in 1968
Although I was over eighteen, I had not yet turned 21, the voting age at the time. But that was the time when Dems lost power. With the exception of two all too brief moments with Carter and Clinton, it's been Repukes in power since. One really cannot count most of Clinton's terms because of 1994's Repuke sweep of Congress. Since that time I have watched this country sink ever deeper into corruption and unaccountability--Nixon, Reagan, Bush I, Chimp.

This year is going to be a huge tsunami for the Democrats. The House is going to be ours. We're going to take House seats that nobody will be predicting. We have a very good shot at the Senate as well.

When all is said and done on Wednesday morning, our work has just begun. We have to force our Democratic majority to push the White House with one investigation after another. Accountability *must* be our number one plank.
