From my local hot-air machine, the Boston Globe:
A new New York Times/CBS News poll finds that by 49 percent to 29 percent, those surveyed favored having the party that doesn't occupy the White House control Congress.So I wonder -- do the folks really want gridlock with all the shit that doth now shower upon 'em? Or is this merely a restraint out of desperation and despair -- hoping that each loathsome Orthrian muzzle will clamp the other?
The same sentence was passed on chicken-lickin' Clinton in '94. They gave Clint and his DLC posse just 2 years, as opposed to the 6 (at least) that the Bush/Rove/Cheney gang have had.
Three to one pretty much reflects the balance of forces between Repubs and Demos.
