Seen a number of articles in the last month, including a couple over at TPM, wherein the President and a number of other Beltway Dems, particularly in the Senate, keep claiming that after the election, if the President is re-elected, that the Republicans in Congress will be more reasonable and willing to work out solutions, and that the party as a whole will essentially become more moderate because of the defeat at the polls.
This is just fundamentally Wrong. And it's really not that complicated.
