The Civil Rights act of 1964 and the "Republican Tide" of 2010

I'm reading a fascinating book on Lyndon Johnson, Master of the Senate, and I'm sad but impressed to see just how clearly he saw the future. And still had the courage to do the right thing. We did the right thing in passing healthcare reform, banking reform and consumer protections. And holding BP accountable. And ending the war in Iraq. And a host of other issues. If the cost is losing congress for 2011-2012, so be it. The tide - outside the south - is going our way. And I'm not even close to convinced there will be any real "republican tide".
