Based on that alone, if it can be proven that 55% of the votes that went to Davis would've gone to Corwin - and that is a big if given that he is a career Democrat - then Corwin would've eked out a slight victory.<br /><br />I maintain however that the more likely scenario was a split down the middle. GOP claims that the Ryan budget had nothing to do with this outcome are pure denial.<br /><br />I also maintain that Democrats should resist the urge to gloat over this triumph and get busy formulating a plan to deal with Medicare. Delay would prove fatal in 2012.Peter Feganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10949239024795435039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264148977155820969.post-3863972563158463102011-05-28T21:29:34.130-04:002011-05-28T21:29:34.130-04:00Seems both parties are in deep doodoo these days: ...Seems both parties are in deep doodoo these days: Dems for not acting on their convictions; Repubs for acting on theirs.stevenoreply@blogger.com
