...of the tea bagger movement that came into being just after Dean left and pretty much swept it's way through America, and also thanks to black lash hatred of Obama. The NRA's power and the Supreme Court decisions that brought in Voter I.D. and corporations able to buy elections. All of which happened during Debbie's watch.

I mean, I don't mean to naive here...but telling me what Dean left us vs. what Debbie now has doesn't necessarily indicate cause/effect. That's simply a "post-hoc-ergo-proper-hoc" statement.

Can you educate me (provide me with evidence) as to what makes this a causal relationship irregardless of those other factors and puts her squarely to blame for losing those seats? :confused:
