Much has been said about the potential losses the Democratic party will face in the 2010, what has not been addressed is who or what party will reap the perceived benefit of these losses.
With the Tea Party stumbling out of the gate, the lack of solidified Republican platform, the Democrats abysmal polling numbers and least we forget the independents, 2010 could ultimately result in the increased marginalization of all four platforms.
Obama currently garners an estimated 30-35% of the lefts support regardless of issue, call it blind ambition, Republicans continue to struggle with similar polling numbers, Independents are leaning right, the Tea Party movement is in its infant stage, so as they say in football, time to throw the hail Mary, and although political opportunity abounds, so do the associated risks, read on.
Given the above scenarios along with an increase in each of the platforms protectionism to assure it’s ideological growth the potential for stagnation and inability to proffer any useful legislation will surely follow. This fractionating of the former two party system into what appears to be four distinct groups is dangerous in that no clear consensus can be obtained when one is so sorely needed.
The current and proposed infighting for top billing will assuredly result in the increase of the benign grandiose promises politicians have become so caviler at issuing but not keeping as of late. With the end result of increasing the ruminating displeasure toward our elected officials which is dangerously at an all time high. While this process is an integral part of the form and function of a free republic, the answer on who will reign supreme is a story yet to be told. This fight for supremacy will surely leave copious amounts of blood on the battlefield further dividing our country when a unification of purpose is what is required.
What spoils remain for the winner along with it’s direction will make life interesting far into the approaching decade, and from a personal perspective none of the four competing factions have jumped to the forefront with any brilliant ideas or suggestions, nor statesman like leadership.
Obama was correct in that our government needs “fundamental change”, but not to the bloated, special interest driven, increased socialization of the political machine that now exists. For now until our proposed hero reaches that Valhalla, the highest use we the citizens of the United States can perform is to be ever vigilant, and involved in the process.
Lastly, we as a nation have dropped the proverbial ball over the last 30-40 years in that our apathy and acceptance of our elected officials has not been in our best interest. This nescient approach has led us to the conundrum we all now face, our saving grace is that history will show the American people possess unlimited resolve when their freedoms are vetoed by the very same elected officials we entrusted.
To use a highly worn out metaphor our Republic is facing “a defining moment” it is up to each of us to become part of that definition, that my fellow Americans is the only platform that matters!

Brown should use pieces of their recent debate and the last debate which show him a reasoned person and her totally clueless. I think he’s going to pull off an upset unless the election is fraught with fraud. I’m Jim Great post.

Kink I think you are on to something… though I might argue that rather than a half empty glass, it is instead a half full glass.
I, and millions of others, are sick and damn tired of being used as a ping pong ball between the two parties, both of which lead, at greater or lesser speed, down the path of progressive-ism.
I see the Majority of Americans agreeing more than disagreeing and it is due to an awakening brought on by Obama and Co slamming the country upside the head with a socialist mop.
Candidates who agree with the electorate rather than forcing than a Candidate’s Party forcing the electorate to agree with it, will bring both parties back to the table and listen to Us for a damn change… no more extremism… and no more RINOs and DINOs…. stand for principles and say them and act them out… then let the voters decide the winners and losers.
This Eeyore negativity and Debbie Downer stuff is not painting a true picture…
The electorate involvement and energy levels are higher than at anytime in my life time… something big is coming and folks need to lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

Hey Jim, (we have met remember) thanks for stopping by, the race for Kennedys seat is one of the most important races in the last 100 years, not because of who Brown is or what he represents, but to take away that 60th vote.
My goal was to try to lay out strategy for 2010 from all angles, Brown is the first step in determining which way this process will go, and the Democrats are getting very nervous, good to see!!

Hey VF, thanks for the comments!!
I agree the mood in America clearly supports change, and that change starts with the leadership.
The thought behind the post was to not view the current situation in an emotional manner, but look at how the strategy could be played out.
The people are unified in the fact that they do not trust government, and do not trust the media who support government, throw in big business, and what do you have? A mess that will not be cleaned up quickly, if there are four basic groups of beliefs that is more complicated on just an numerical basis. I think the end result will be an increase of base following one ideology, right now their is no Regan, or Gandhi on the radar to lead this group.
So it will be interesting, but we have all been sold so much bull shit for the last 25 years, my point of view is cynical at best, thus Kynikos…
Bottom line, I ascribe to your quote, and it has served me well over the years, so ditto on “Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way”

Voting female: Although I sympathize with your statement about being used like a ping pong ball I would offer you some hope with regards to what is actually taking place. The Republicans have figured out that being “Democrat-light” is stupid. RNC chairman Michael Steele has recognized this fact finally. I’m a registered Independent in Massachusetts yet I’m conservative on almost all issues. There’s a lot more like me out there. We finally got “bitch slapped” by the far left and our response is that we’re not going to take it. Obama and crew might have had a different idea when it comes to the change they thought they could bring about but they definitely are responsible for a big change in America. His election, although it doesn’t feel like it right now, might have been the best thing to happen to this country in a long time. We can see clearly what liberals do, think, how they feel about constituents, and how they react to crisis and we’re horrified. They were finally exposed for the weak minded, no-spined, socialist leaning, America blaming, tax and spend happy controlling naive idealistic bastards they’ve always been, but in capital letters. We’re even starting to laugh at their charges of racism and other lame bumper sticker slogans they’ve used in the past to put us off our game. Keep the faith… we’re Americans and they just might have awakened something in us all that has been asleep for a long long time.

Hi Dave B.,
I believe we have conversed before, remember?
I do believe, and agree, the DEM 2008 primary, the DEM 2008 campaign, the arrogant behavior of Obama and the
ProgressivesMarxists with Obama in office and a Congress super majority has ignited the Perfect Storm against them.They vastly VASTLY underestimated Americans
…to their ultimate woo
They underestimated the Majority of Americans willingness to wake up, to stand up, and effectively and forcefully push back with greater and greater strength determination and force. No one has seen anything like this in America since 1776.
It is… The Perfect Storm
We are making History

That post was on the dimes. I believe most independents afe for the most part libertarians or Republicans who have become sick of government back to Bush.
