1. Kerry didn’t win, Hillary lost! That’s right. Hillary’s plans will be on hold until 2012 if Kerry is successful. True, Recovering Republicans don’t expect Kerry to be successful, but really, what is our track record here – lots of people thought Clinton did fine, right? Well, lots of other people thought he did fine, anyway. And you had better be rooting for Kerry to succeed – there is a war on, and failure is not an option.
2. These times demand the Times, and you can go back to reading it. Admit it – the Times is a great paper, but it has been so anti-Bush that you can only look at it after you take two aspirin and duct tape your mouth. Under Kerry, those days will be but a grim memory. Now, you can smile each morning as the Times tries to undo two years of bias in two months by putting Kerry under the microscope. Enjoy!
3. Did we lose the White House? It’s only a flesh wound! With a Republican Congress, Kerry can’t do too much harm. Our hopes are pinned on Frist and DeLay now. Sorry, I was trying to be upbeat with that – let’s go on.
4. Relax while someone else tries to spin the latest outrage. Putting a Democrat in charge might actually make their party take a little bit of responsibility for the events of the day. This might be bracing for them, and amusing for the rest of us.
