Re: The Pelosi Effect
Any time you post a link to an article that requires a subscription to view, you really should give us your username and password so that we can also view it.
If you're not willing to do that (
) how about always including a link to http://www.bugmenot.com so that your readers can obtain a free user/password to view your linked article? I used jimmy8881/xyzzybob provided by bugmenot.com to view your article.
Just my 2¢.

Re: The Pelosi Effect
Sounds like a personal problem. The link opened for me with no login and no subscription.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.
Re: The Pelosi Effect
I understand where TAM is coming from. Years ago, I used their free signup to view NYT articles, but then decided to decline when they made it fee-based (their prerogative, of course, no ill will here). In the same manner as WSJ, some articles are made public, most are not. I suspect this is one of the public articles.

No problems here TAM. It looks like the NYT has black balled you.

This happened to me as well. Then, I enabled cookies for the site, called up the page again, and it worked.
Probably for "helping" you with the site navigation, but more likely to retain whatever variables they need to cue ads or whatever.

Re: The Pelosi Effect
I hope this will help them lose seats next month. It's even better if they lose seats to candidates the GOP establishment has alienated, like the TEA Party folks.
Re: The Pelosi Effect
First problem is the two months following the General Election: King, Queen and team have already stated they will push through everything they can in the lame duck session. Pelosi will still be the commander until the next Congress are sworn in.
Second problem would follow from the election:
* If the Republicans win big, they'll think it was because of their charisma, and they will continue their old policies.
* Tea Party winners are more likely to take votes away from Conservatives rather than Liberals (not certain, it will be interesting to watch the outcome).
I don't expect a whole lot of political change, really, because the machine is too massive (and many other reasons). As the economy deteriorates, we could either see a progression of more conservative election outcomes as we return to values, or we might see more "progressive" election outcomes as people will continue to believe whomever promises the most. Either way, we're in for a continuing period of difficulty.
