91. I definitely believe the passionate left was used in this election. |

I'm seeing every day since Nov. 4th that the Obama White House is trianglulating, being "Pelosi/Reid" nice to those who would have destroyed the country under Bush/Cheney, and is generally running a make nice country club.
But, the Obama campaign used the passions and the personal energy of those on Main Street who had had 'enough.' Obama even used 'Enough!' as a punctuation mark and rallying cry in the campaign hustings.
I'd say, we're going to get a WH that Pelosi/Reid would operate--- forgive everyone, and be so in the middle, so without conviction, so moderate, that the Republican party is placated, corporate power is not firewalled from the political process, but those on Main Street who gave of their time and hard earned money end up 'punked.'
I wish I felt differently, that the evidence I see were not there. We went door to door to have a 'nice, conservative, do nothing' next four years that will dine with those who tried to destroy the Constitution, while we are locked out and left out.
