This could actually be good. Stop laughing and hear me out...

Remember back in 2006 when Democrats were somehow able to overcome Howard Dean's leadership of the DNC to take over both houses of Congress?

When that happened, Democrats could have stomped Republicans like bugs, but instead they adopted a new spirit of amity and comity, never lording their position over the opposition. Do we have any reason to believe that Republicans will be any less gracious come January? That a new spirit of cooperation and putting Americans ahead of partisanship won't take root in Congress?

Anyone? No?

OK, well then maybe we can focus on president Obama's able and willing veto pen? He can stop the GOP cold if they try to do bad things. Right?

#%^*

Well, gotta go, need to change my underwear and get very, very, very drunk.

Goddamned Liberals.

Just think of how much worse tonight would have been if

Howard Dean had been running the DNC. We might have won many more races, but there'd doubtless have been partisanship, competent campaigning, and unhelpful vocalizations played over and over by the news media.

Ewww.

I believe we all owe a debt of gratitude to one Debbie Wasserman Schultz (and her photogenic doggies) for keeping this from being a bad night. This campaign season was clean, fair, and I dare say it's begun to move the domestic animal Overton Window from cats back to dogs.

Huzzah!

Scott Brown's next state?

NY's been known to vote carpetbaggers into the Senate, but an admitted Republican might have a tough time there.

Thoughts?

Did any other "Liberals" vote today?

After much reflection I changed my mind and voted for Democrats for the first time in... jeez... three months or so.

Any other "Liberals" have a change of heart and vote?

Here Teddy, let me fix that for you:

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public just stopping the ratfuckers."

Regards,

Third-Way Teddy Roosevelt

Agitprop.

Got me.

OK, OK. The DNC has made its point.

Hey, Manny --

Let's keep this short and simple. General Clapper tells us that you like cute doggies.

Fair enough, Manny.

So here's the deal: Manny, if you donate $200 today, this cute doggie lives until at least Tuesday, and you'll be on the list of our best supporters we send to the FEC.



Come Tuesday night, should things not go well for us Democrats... well, let's just hope things go well, capisce Manny?

Thanks for this, Manny
