That's why I'm going for Kerry. He's likely to sell
the farm a bit slower AND he has to get it pushed through
congress. Now, Congress is the same, but they will fight
him out of party spite whereas the same idea would sail
through if a Republican President brought it up.

One-third of the Senate is up, you know, and it's 51-49 now. If the
Senate changes sides, this country has a chance of making some
serious improvements.

IOW, be deadlocked with the president and accomplish nothing.
