Jason, that just tells the party that all they have to do is wait till the next election and they will get the position again. IOW the only thing you need on your resume is "not currently in office". Not too demanding. I voted for Obama because my ideology is more aligned with the Democrats. IOW I will never vote for a Republican until they are saying something I believe in.

Oh and wrt socialism in healthcare, I'm for it. Capitalist healthcare is failing miserably in containing costs and providing confidence that it will be there and affordable when I need it.
