You can say that again
"Republicans had a failed agenda. The contrast was pretty stark," she said. "They focused a lot of time on socially divisive issues, and we spent time on issues that united people. The real values are making sure families have affordable health care, not whether they have guns in every pocket or a redefinition of marriage."--Senator Judy Robson on why the Senate Democrats won the majority
The values argument could well be changing. Even some Evangelical Christian voters abandoned the Republican's value game after numerous articles revealed the Rove team was using them and thought little of them as a group. The values argument could be very interesting to watch over the next two years.
You can find the rest of the Capital Time article that the Robson quote came from here.

Judy...Judy...Judy...all that time in the Senate, and still not a clue as to what's going on around you. She spent more time drooling over getting rid of Zien than caring about "kitchen table" issues. OK Jude, you got what you want..4 "newbies", and a Senate presided over by a guy that went to high school with Moses. Don't think for a second that you won't be watched 24/7/365, and EVERYTHING you said in the campaign, you WILL be held to.
I believe they did beat Zien so that focus was time well spent. Defeating Zien and the other three Republicans that went down was the key to be able to work on kitchen table issues. The Republicans running the senate were never going to do it.
And I'm sure Senator Robson is well aware that she is going to be watched, but thanks for pointing out the obvious on that one.
