THE BLUES ARE SEEING RED
"The major political battles this year in Washington may not be between Democrats and Republicans in Congress, but between the states and the federal government. 'The principle of federalism has gotten lost in the weeds by a Republican Congress that was elected to uphold it in 1994,' said Senator Lamar Alexander, a Republican and former governor of Tennessee who is an advocate for states on Capitol Hill. 'Conservatives are as bad as liberals about imposing mandates once they come to Washington.'"
