Ideological coalitions WASHINGTON – As Pres. Obama and his legisla- tive team scope out the new Congress that will return in January, they should think less in terms of party identification and more in terms of creating alliances with like-minded lawmakers. We’re edging closer to a parliamentary system where one party rarely gets a majority and a ruling coalition must be formed. Obama can do that across party lines on ideology instead of issue by issue, creating one coalition with Republicans who tend to be moderate on social issues and another coalition with Republicans who are moderate on fiscal issues and another with Republicans who share his world view on foreign policy and defense issues and still another on minority rights and immigration. Republicans are currently in disarray. Tea Party candidates cost the GOP Senate seats in Missouri and Indiana. Republicans dislike and fear the Tea Party and there are some who are willing to stand up and say there is room for compromise in a democracy. Finding and identifying those Republicans, particularly in the Senate, is the key to a successful second term legislatively for Obama. GOP obstructionism won them the House in 2010, but in 2012, voters punished the GOP for its extremism and this fact makes coalition-building a real possibility. Republicans minimize the two seats gained by the Democrats, but 55 seats is a lot closer to reaching a filibuster-proof 60 and means that Obama would only have to move five Republicans to pass legislation assuming he can hold all the Democrats. Five is both a lot and a little – a lot if you look at the composition of the Senate Republicans, most of whom are very conservative – but a little if you consider five out of 45 and you put pressure on them from outside players, perhaps from New York Mayor Bloomberg, or from heightened public opinion that Obama can generate by using the bully pulpit. The House is a tougher challenge. Ten or 11 of the most ardent Tea Party members were defeated, but there are still plenty left and the House Republican caucus is still very conservative. Speaker Boehner has got to watch his back as Majority Leader Eric Cantor positions himself for a possible challenge. Still, looking at the numbers, if Boehner reached a so-called Grand Bargain with Obama to curb the deficit, he would only need 19 or so of his Republican members to join the Democrats. This is admittedly fanciful since Boehner only likes to pass legislation with a majority of Republicans, but it’s possible at least in theory and should open up White House thinking to new and different ways to approach Congress. It’s been 30 years since President Reagan worked successfully with a Democratic House led by Speaker Tip O’Neill. It was a different era and partisan lines weren’t as hardened as they are today. But Reagan picked off like-minded Democrats, mainly in the South, who were dubbed boll weevils. Republicans who formed alliances with Democrats were called Gypsy Moths. The boll weevils are gone, retired or switched to the GOP and their descendants are the Blue Dog Democrats. Unfortunately there has been no obvious counterpart on the Republican side where Obama might find allies. Perhaps the election and antipathy toward the Tea Party will change that.

The Rally was held in Chipola College’s new Center for the Arts. The FBLA Chapters attending were welcomed by Vikki Milton, Phi Beta Lambda Sponsor. The members had a great time with other chapters of District 2. The chapters elected their 2012-2013 District 2 officers during the rally. Dr. James Froh, Dean of Business & Technology at Chipola College talked to members about Phi Beta Lambda at Chipola College as well as other opportunities available at the College. We were also informed about the competitive events that are to take place in February. We will begin preparing for those competitions now. We enjoyed watching fellow chapters compete in “Battle of the Chapters”, a contest in which we hope to have a team competing next year.

Lafayette County scored late state title this week, Liberty faces Bozeman Friday night in playoff by Richard Williams, Journal sports writer BRISTOL - The Liberty County Bulldogs will host the Bozeman Bucks in a first round football playoff game Nov. 16 in Bristol at 7:30 p.m. The Bulldogs defeated the Bucks 27-18 earlier this year; but when looking at common opponents the Bucks have the edge in scoring and defense. The teams share six common foes and in those games Bozeman scored 257 points to 229 for Liberty, and the Bucks allowed 61 points while Liberty gave up 83. Against Port St. Joe, Bozeman won 35-8 while Liberty held on for a 26-25 win in overtime. LCHS Head Coach Grant Grantham said he was proud of the way his team played the first time against Bozeman; however, he added it is tough to beat the same team twice in one season. “You know they believe they can beat us,” Grantham said. “They probably feel like they’ve got something to prove and in the playoffs one loss and you’re out.” Liberty enters the playoffs after a much-needed off week. Grantham said the team has practiced well and needs plenty of fan support to help propel the Bulldogs in the playoffs. SPORT s November 14, 2012 THE CALHOUN-LIBERTY JOURNAL Page 21
