I am afraid that democrats will loose big time. I do not believe that they understand the level of disillusionment of democratic vote. In 2006, when Democrats took Congress, there was a surge in optimism, and people were convinced that the nonsense of foreign wars and other entanglements were going to be over. I remember well that November. Soon, it became clear that Bush and the White House were going to run things, and that Congress was lame and impotent. This resulted in a biggest-ever push towards electing Obama. Young and old, came together to get the country on the right course. The alternative, the fascist-like corporate-militarized society was the alternative. Now, the dream has ended. There are still believers, hoping that one day, democrats are going to show their true colors. But the apathy has set in. There is nothing one can do, but wait for the resurgent Republicans, with their crazed following take back the White House. For many Democrats, especially young and deeply disappointed will stay home. Some are switching to Ron Paul. There is nothing that can be done. The war machinery will go on, and find new important places in this world to bomb. And our economy will suffer without hope of recovery. I do not believe that Democrats understand what is really going on. Or they do, but are just as committed to the same imperial project as Republicans, and do not care what the public feels. The media is not giving voice to the deeply disillusioned populace. They for sure do not need to know what does not fit their well rehearsed narrative.

U. S.Citizens are indeed disillusioned and many democrats are saying that they will never vote for another democrat. This is due to the betrayal of the democrat voters in the last presidential election. They were lied to just to get their votes and then everything did an about face, with the billionaires and wall street thieves being given free reign over the tax payer's money. The sad thing is that the republican party is cut from the same corrupt mold that the democratic party is cut from. There is really no difference in the two parties. They both screw the working people and line the pockets of the rich crooks. There is "slim to none" chance that a third party will ever be able to break the "dictorial chains" imposed be the other two parties in order to have a fair chance to run. The billionaires just love it. They maintain total control over their POLITICAL WHORES in Washington by giving them donations {bribes?} and Washington never really changes {STAYS ROTTEN TO THE CORE}.

When will the US people finally realize that there is a one party system in the USA. It is the Money Party with two factions called: the democrats and the republicans. They stand for the same thing and implement the same policies although they may have a few individuals who have a more independent mind and stand for more progressive policies. This one party system has always governed the U.S.A. ever since the independence of the country from Britain.Imagine if there were two communist parties (which stood for the same principals and policies-perhaps with only tactical differences) in the former the Soviet Union, trading governance from time to time. Would American have then called the Soviet Union a "democratic state"? I doubt it very much. Well it is the same with the USA with the two essentially similar parties following the same dictates of capital. Where is the real democracy in America that they boast to the world about?
