As to the election itself, I began to worry when I heard Tom Barrett on one of the MSNBC shows. The host was asking Barrett to comment on some of the Walker policies for which Walker was being criticized. Barrett acted like a rabbit hiding from the hounds. He hemmed and hawed and never took the offensive.
Then tonight when he was giving his concession he took about compromise and working together. The first two pigs tried to compromise with the wolf and look what happened to them. Chamberlain tried to appease Hitler. How did that turn out? It's time for Democrats to grow a pair. No compromise. Oppose everything the Republicans propose. While we still have a majority in the Senate change the rules to require only a majority to pass legislation. Make it so you have to actually physically filbuster, not just say you are going to filibuster. Never, never let the Republicans get away with a lie. Challenge them immediately. We need more Democrats like Alan Greyson and less like Harry Reid.
