Obstructionist Congress
Since the Democrats took back the senate the Republicans have continued to obstruct any legislation by esentially filibustering all legislation. The latest example being the tax hikes for oil companies while giving tax breaks for alternative fuels. When Tom Daschell (D-SD) was the minority leader he lost his senate seat because Thune(R-SD) successfully painted him as an obstructionist who was preventing anything from getting done in the senate. The Democrats could take this same approach in 2008. Do you think that the Republican strategy will help or hurt them in 2008?
