2000 Election - Gore wins but Scalia et al puts the imbecile in the White House. Gore wimps away. 2004 - Kerry wins but wimps away as well. 2008 - Obama wins and the Dems control Congress. 2010 - Obama and the Dems are still wimping.

Esther Armah is someone to watch, she's been getting better and better every time I see her and she's doing a great job on WBAI-FM in New York.
