Who's Dancing in the Red Zone?

Bush may be mocking Dems for "dancing in the red zone" (the twenty yards in front of the football end zone), but big business seems prepared to concede that the game is about to swing in the Blue Team's favor. Corporate America has begun to shift its financial reserves into the political version of a "hedge fund" to back the team that's likely to enforce the regulations they might have to live by.

Today's New York Times notes that the big boys are starting to dump last minute political donations into various Democratic campaigns. According to the Times, the shift in financial backing from one party to the other hasn't been this dramatic since 1994, and all Democrats know what happened that year. Maybe Newt GetRich's "revolution" is finally screeching to a hault. It might be interesting to see what happens if the vehicle of government actually stopped driving in high speed reverse for a change.
