The New Republic says "Go For It"

From the editors of the New Republic today:

But, in the end, there's probably nothing the Democrats can do to avoid losing seats in 2010. Almost all presidents suffer defeats during their first midterm elections. The greatest risk for Democrats is not that Obama will try to do too much, but that their terror of failure will lead them to waste an historic opportunity. This is not a Clintonian moment. It is more like the moment Lyndon Johnson inherited in 1965, or the one Franklin Roosevelt faced in 1933--a chance to reshape American government. The Democrats have it in their grasp to master the great problems of public life if they can summon their collective nerve. The only thing they have to fear is fear itself.

I completely agree. Barack it's time to rock the party and tear shit up. Our country needs it more than ever.
