Congratulations to the Democratic leadership of the House and to presidential nominee Barack Obama. You’ve just succeeded in sapping all the enthusiasm out of the activist base. We’ll be organizing for this fight in the Senate. There are now 105 members of the House that are potential targets for well-funded primary opponents and/or advertising campaigns in their districts that will drive up their negatives. Maybe some of those 105 can take comfort in their safety in numbers. But not all. A lot of Democrats just disgraced themselves, dishonored the Constitution, legalized lawbreaking, and treated our privacy rights like some card that can be traded away. The fury of the Netroots is at a near all-time high at just the point in time when you need us to gear up for a realigning election. You’re all geniuses.
