Party politics

Stefan Sharkansky has a must-read (which he hammers home here) for those of us who are inclined to prefer a Democratic majority in Congress to balance the Republican administration in the White House. There are still a heck of a lot of important issues on which I would prefer not to give Bush carte blanche. I'm still a registered Democrat and I keep hoping "my" party will come its senses. But the hope is growing dimmer by the day and Stefan points out one of the potential costs of "balance."
