My guess is Franken was genuinely blindsided by all this (Newt Gingrich may be right on this one) and doesn't exactly know what to do or how long to take to do it.

The Democrats have the moral high road, given to them because the Republicans have defaulted and the perception, whether you see it or not, is that they are policing their house, while the Republicans aren't. Years ago is off the table. The Christian right has abandoned the position that character matters, in favor of single-issue political positions, and are relying on worldly power to make their position, rather than on spiritual strength. The evidence of that is clear, that can't be denied, because some of their leadership has articulated it You can add in the racial overtones they've brought in, which is why many evangelical African Americans and Latinos are either silent, or openly supporting the other side.

Jon, I think we agree on something--it's time to get rid of the abusive figures in Washington starting in the administration and the Congress and going from there. Might be a worthy revolution.
