me, as well....in fact, the campaign against her is the only campaign I've supported and worked for. In fact, I'll be in Delaware tomorrow night, and since(with any luck) that might see the end of this thread, I'll leave my post election thoughts, based upon my current guesstimate, which is:
Dems lose 55-60 House seats, 7 or 8 Senate seats, 8 Governorships
(so, just consider the below written on Weds morning)
With that in mind, and noting Pud's remarks above, which are very well taken, I'll say something akin to what I said in 2008, after two straight Dem whoopasses: Now, show us how you can govern. I said that about the Dems, and frankly, they haven't, as well as they could have. They weren't focused enough, bold enough or savvy enough to develop a message, or a brand. They let the GOP stymie them and then define them. Ultimately, they did pass a lot of shit, but it was a set of half-measures, which the public let them know were not sufficient. The public is divided, and both parties are now far more ideological than 85% of the voters. What that vast middle wants to see is focus, honesty and a group willing to honestly tackle the issues that face the country. They want to be involved in that process, but also be led by decisive leaders.
The Dems fell short, let's see what this new crop of Republicans has to offer.
Oh, and thank God we beat the hell out of O'Donnell last night.
I'm guessing that things like the American revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil war, the assasination of Lincoln, the Spanish American war and WW1, were just Gang violence issues
