Meet The New Boss

In 2004, Republicans began to suffer a series of devastating electoral defeats from which the party is yet to recover. Voters had put the GOP in control, and the result was fiscal irresponsibility and frequent scandal. So...voters put Democrats in control.

As The Who sang, "meet the new boss/same as the old boss."

Defiant Representative Charles Rangel is stepping down "temporarily" as chair of House Ways And Means amid an ethics probe. Democrats fear that they are "soiling their brand" just as Republicans did in 2004. The impact can be felt up and down the ballot.
