I hate to say it, but unless someone can catch Burr screwing a Greek Goat (or an intern or such) he will be returned to office, as the Tea Pee-ers are sure to fall in line behind him. Anything can happen between now and November, I suppose, but he has the big bucks--some from oil companies, some from Big Pharma, you name the corporation, it's lining his pockets. Those interests are all determined to thwart the President. It's a damn shame the Dems don't go ahead and get some good progressive stuff passed before the gridlock that is sure to mark the rest of Obama's presidency. But they don't want to force a GOP filibuster, so they whine about not having 60 votes in the Senate.
J.W. Williamson was the founding editor in 1972 of the Appalachian Journal: A Regional Studies Review, which he edited until July of 2000. He has taught college classes in Appalachian history, cultural politics, and literature, and he has lectured widely on the pop-culture history of "Appalachia" in the American consciousness. His books include Interviewing Appalachia, Southern Mountaineers in Silent Films, and Hillbillyland: What the Mountains Did to the Movies and What the Movies Did to the Mountains. He has won the Thomas Wolfe Award given by the Western North Carolina Historical Society, the Laurel Leaves Award given by the Appalachian Consortium, a special Weatherford Award given by Berea College, and the Cratis Williams-James Brown Award given by the Appalachian Studies Association.

Right! Another reason why Communism solves this problem! Screw Democracy and the Greek Goat they rode in on!

Meant to add--this is democracy? Didn't the people give a large majority to the President and Democratic party in 2008?
Instant-runoff voting would help in many ways.
