Please! How could the House and Senate Dems become even more spineless... excuse me, "cautious" than they continue to be even with the enormous mandate voters gave them in 2006 and 2008. This is another concern troll argument from the right, with the usual neocon Digg commenters here. Deeds and Corzine deserved to lose because they were lousy candidates, so the base wasn't going to fully support them, and the independents skewed to the less stupid candidate. Easy to predict.The real indicator of what's coming is the Republican civil war that the NY 23 gave a preview of. The result is the first D ever in a district that could have easily remained R, except for the infighting in which the teabaggers, fundamentalists, and talk radio crazies are winning out over the rational conservatives. Any time you're calling for the head of people like Newt Gingrich not being conservative enough, you've lost all sanity and credibility with everyone except that hardcore 20-30% fellow Teabag-neocon-talk radio demographic, and I really hope a few of them finally wake up and see how far out they've gotten.
