TBO, I don't agree entirely. I think both parties are going through a political change of character. We're a more intelligent and communicative culture with more invested in politics than previous generations. As a result, the wavering political atmosphere we see today is a result of the same large grouping of voters that got Obama elected AND showed up in force for McCain paying closer attention to politics. That same group or selection of groups is fed up with politics as usual. It could mean the demise of many incumbents come elections. Reid is notably one of them. Pelosi I'm sure is very worried, and possibly why her office remains quiet since the CIA mess she made for herself. As for Repubs, keeping close to their base is what keeps them in office. It's a matter of time now. I don't see the Republican party or the Democrats holding sway right now (60 votes aside). Obama holds the key to many of their political futures, but even his numbers continue to drop.
I think the "owning up"portion of your statement is more what you'd like to see than what is likely true.
- You make some good points, but I utterly disagree with: "We're a more intelligent and communicative culture with more invested in politics than previous generations."TheBlueOne

- I still see it as a demographic shift, and one that reflects issues that the Democrats generally favor.TheBlueOne
- But I agree with you that all things in politics are tenuous.TheBlueOne
