Election day

As election day dawns, I'm feeling rather discouraged. If the Dems win the House, but not the Senate, they won't get anything done. And more to the point, if the Dems can't get some traction in the current political climate - record low approval ratings for the Prez and widespread dissatisfaction with the majority party in Congress - what the hell is it going to take? Clearly, the Dems are not offering a compelling vision for change or even for governance. If they were, these contests would not be down to the wire the way the are.
