My Favorite Part Of The Media Coverage Last Night.

This was when things were beginning to look extra grim for the Pubbies and McCain's admitted they were packing it in. What did the Thugs on the CNN panel do? They decided to start giving PE Obama and Democrats advice on how to govern with their growing majorities:

ANDERSON COOPER (MSN)
ALEX CASTELLANOS (R)
TARA WALL (R)
JAMES CARVILLE (D)

WALL: Although there may be some pushback.

(CROSSTALK)

CASTELLANOS: And the one thing I think Roland made a good point about is that -- is that Barack Obama has been very careful in this campaign not to scare America. He's been very comforting, reassuring, moving toward the middle...

(CROSSTALK)

CASTELLANOS: ... the Biden choice as well. That seems to be how he governs. If he does that, Republicans, I think, are going to meet him in the middle.

WALL: It will be interesting to see how he governs, given that he's had a virtually liberal voting record. He was -- he ran liberally during the primaries and had to move to the center during the -- the national election against McCain.

So, I think it is going to be interesting to see if we're going to see the more liberal senator, the now what could be the more liberal President Obama, or a centrist President Obama, and how he will even have to work with Democrats in the Senate.

I mean, Nancy Pelosi is not a fan of extending the Bush tax cuts, whereas Barack Obama has said that he is. So, I think there will be a little bit more pushback than we might anticipate.

(CROSSTALK)

JAMES CARVILLE, CNN POLITICAL ANALYST: I'm a little bit shocked here by the entire conversation.

The Republicans are on target to lose somewhere between 12 and 14 Senate seats in a two-year period and somewhere around 50 to 55 House seats. It's look it's going to come in about 25. If I was a Republican right now, I think I would be, like, as opposed as trying to tell Barack Obama how to govern, I would be looking inward myself.

And the Republican Party is getting a drubbing tonight the likes of which we have never seen. This is a two-year cycle in which this party has been hammered. And I think -- I think Obama and the Democrats are going to be...

(CROSSTALK)

CASTELLANOS: You don't think the Democrats are moving toward the middle?

CARVILLE: Well, I think the Democrats, A, are moving toward leadership.

I think that -- sure, I don't think we're an ideologically rigid party, like the Republican Party. I think that's Paul's point.

COOPER: Well, you could make the same argument about the Republican Party, that, over the last six years, certainly, in terms of economic issues, they have -- I mean, the amount of spending, the amount of blowing deficit, talk about fiscal -- you know, fiscal responsibility, restraint, has not been the hallmark of this administration.

CASTELLANOS: We broke our brand.

WALL: Yes.

Carville says a lot of things that piss me off but sometimes he cranks one right out of the park. The idea that ideologically bankrupt Republican apparachiks would think they have standing to lecture anyone in the face of such a foundation shattering defeat shows not just how out of touch they were; but how they are hell-bent to remain that way.
