country. red versus blue. i friend steve kornacki was talking about,was the beginning of this modern feel that everybody has chosen a sight and every fight has been about trying to win us versus them. red versus blue. d versust r and has hit the supreme court. it was already sort of there or a feeling b for that now it's really there. the question is, you wonder when we hit thims lining, this maybe the fever breaks. president obama said, if i win, maybe the fever had break. susan collins said, hope any we've hit rock. bott we've pen in this a lg time. at the end of the y, this will get worse. met better. i think there are enators
