Mercs wish may come true

[Happy Monkey]

Rahm's role seems to have primarily been to oppose anything progressive in Congress. In doing so, he may have thought he was being more pragmatic than the pie-in-the-sky liberals, and he might have had a point if he had been able to actually get much in return for the concessions.

I think that the effect he's had has been to make the Democrats seem wishy-washy, turning off independants, and depressing the Democratic base.

I suspect that getting rid of him might, in effect, be more aligned with liberal wishes than Merc's.
