Lessons from tonight's elections
Edited on Tue May-18-10 11:02 PM by nadinbrzezinski
1.- The GOP is in real trouble... (Quick, somebody page Mitchell, she's still lost on this one). How can I say this? Well, Critz won, and the "moderate wing" of the RNC lost in Ky. That is not a good thing for McConnell and the boys. This is a full fledged insurgency.

2.- The DINOs are in trouble.

So here is the message... the country is drifting left, and the extreme right is fully taken over the GOP, which is becoming even more... a regional southern party.

Oh and more dems showed up... again, somebody wake up Andrea Mitchell and the rest of the talking heads ok.

Oh and to me... echoes of history... again I cannot shake 1852

1. I agree. Said another way.......
For Dems, GO LEFT. Also, smack EVERY Republican candidate with the Teahadists. Connect them in EVERY TV commercial with the WORST of the Teabaggers.

5. Of course but we have seen a pattern
that has gotten worst over the years. When a Republican wins they go to the ends of the earth to tell us what that means. Dem victories they diminish.
