That still amazes me that number has held so consistent. Do Democrats have blind followers like that or is that just a republican thing?
And whether or not they'll be hypocrites and pardon everyone left & right (Scooter Libby & Senator Stevens come to mind immediately), while they were compaining about Clinton doing the same thing back in January 2001.
In any event, I can't imagine that Bush would pardon everyone in his administration... I don't even think the Rethugs would let that pass.

Unprecedented Online Outreach Expected
Just as John F. Kennedy mastered television as a medium for taking his message to the public, Obama is poised to transform the art of political communication once again, said Joe Trippi, a Democratic strategist who first helped integrate the Internet into campaigning four years ago.
"He's going to be the first president to be connected in this way, directly, with millions of Americans," Trippi said.
The nucleus of that effort is an e-mail database of more than 10 million supporters. The list is considered so valuable that the Obama camp briefly offered it as collateral during a cash-flow crunch late in the campaign, though it wound up never needing the loan, senior aides said. At least 3.1 million people on the list donated money to Obama.

But the rot is so deep, so pervasive, I'm wondering what people like me will do in the interim? We're suffering out here--and I don't mean on $100K a year salaries, either.
Once you start on that downward spiral, as an individual your choices narrow with each event of "failure" no matter what--job loss, health events, family crises, foreclosure, whatever.
Yet the govt can bail out the millionaires and billionaires. Do you suppose any one of those fuckers would give me one of their many vehicles as an act of charity since mine won't pass inspection? I'm not holding my breath...even though I helped those assholes make plenty of money in my 50 years of working.
I wouldn't be so upset about my car, but there was another little old lady whose car also failed inspection at the same place. I have a feeling the "small business owner" is ripping off an unsuspecting old folks clientele...but this old lady is getting to the bottom of it. I've already got a question in to the DMV. Want to see how many people have been through this bait and switch of "fixing" the "check engine" light to pass inspection at this particular business.
It's so maddening.
