Dem governors: GOP hurting economy to aid Romney

That is not only Obama's first day in office but also the day Frank Luntz presided over a meeting with top Republican where he told them that their best way forward was to oppose every proposal put forward by Obama and that meant using the filibuster on everything in the Senate. Less than one month later Obama's stimulus bill was block in the Senate by filibuster making him both reduce the size and make tax cuts 38% of the total package. Only then was he able to peel off Spector, Collins and Snowe to vote to end the filibuster. Then there is the debt ceiling debacle....

Until the American voters crush those beholden to the likes of Grover Norquist, Frank Luntz and Rush Limbaugh we will be in for a rough ride. I don't think they are yet up to the task but that could change somewhat between now and November, especially with all of the problems Romney now faces with his personal finances.
