Cancellation Electoral

In the world of jurisprudence, the concept of nullification of the jury raises the specter of tainted justice – judges of the facts and evidence in order to deliver innocent verdicts questionable. Leadership today’s Republican Party seems to be working toward something more like canceling elections – appealing to the emotions of an electorate suspicious and fearful to nullify the election results of 2006 and 2008. Democrats won control of the House of Representatives in the 2006 election, and in 2008 came up with a clear majority in the House, and something just shy of the super-majority needed to prevail in the face of Republican filibusters. The effect of the Republican tactics in the Senate since the Democrats won control of the House of Representatives in 2006 was an attempt at what amounts to annul election.

The question before the Democrats is the best way to present the evidence to the electorate about health care reform in order to prevail in the medium term in November congressional elections.

If you can not pass health care reform, and follow through on promises made by Democrats, they have little with which to judge his case in November. The jury is still hearing evidence the Democrats! Start working through a progressive legislative agenda that can be used in November to remind voters that the Democrats have always been the party of the people. The alternative is to allow the Republicans to appeal to the emotions of the electorate, saying it saved the people of the tyranny of a federal solution. The electorate needs to hear about the achievements in November, not the failure of Democrats to govern.
