Watching the Republican Beast

Well, 2012 is in gear and it's going to be an... interesting year. I have no love for the Republican Party and only grudging commitments to the Democrats.

I've been reading a lot of James Fallows recently and I suggest you read these entries to his blog:

Case against Obama

Fragility of Democracy

Party Cooperation

Up Against the Wall

But before you read them, I suggest you first read Mike Lofgren's article on his leaving the congressional staff. (See here.) Lofgren was a professional staffer in congress until he retired this year.

This is going to be an important election.
