Whereas the following is an example of my rule of one blog, one thought, I must  say that David Sirota's idea of a "progressive mandate" is an attempt to inject a modicum of significance  into a paper mache election:

The Potential Progressive Mandate* Denver Post's PoliticsWest, 10/28/08

Thanks to Maryrose Asher for finding this and so providing an opening for my single thought. Sirota states that McCain has augured a hole of some kind that a president Obama would have a mandate to fill. Misquote? Go read it yourself. My single thought, regardless, is that the 2009 president's only mandate is to  provide a cloak of change for unchanging corporate control of our government.

Johnson changed it, Reagan changed it, but since then the presidents have been window dressers, Clinton the most skilful.
