who doesn't like a scary story?

If four years ago Lincoln Chafee gets bounced for his moderation, and this fall Bart Stupak is forced into retirement for not being stringent enough on a single issue (while still managing to enrage those who disagree for being too adamant on the same) what could possibly be our legislative future?

Oh, right.


Let's put it in culturally appropriate bible-speak.

UPDATE: But Obama does get to replace a 90-year-old liberal on the Supreme Court with a 50-something-year-old, an (arguable) upgrade.
