What bothers me in this whole mess is that the Democrats have the upper hand in public relations. If we go over the fiscal cliff and the country is hit with a huge depression, it will be the Republicans fault. If we get a deal, it will be over the bodies of the obstructionist Republicans. If the deal is made but we still have a recession, it will be the fault of Republicans. How much money does the Republican Party have from the last election? Can't we start putting on some TV ads explaining our side? We surely will not have our side explained by the media.
