    Beautiful spring morning, with good news about the election.  Looks like this long, brutal fight is finally over.  Time for us all to close ranks.  The swiftboaters are revving up their engines.

    Dean was right:  the 50 state strategy works.  The young people are right and this boomer is grateful for the vision and the hard work.

      showing up.  It seems that Republicans got into really bad habits because their positions went uncontested.  They got into the habit of not really even getting out and campaigning, relying on a pro forma media presence in the last month before the election.  Since they had no competition, nobody even noticed.  
      Republican incumbents are still playing that game in NH.  One might ascribe it to a haughty disregard for competitors.  I'm inclined to think it's just laziness.

      How do you tell a predator from a protector? The predator will eat you sooner rather than later.

        I don't think they are lazy at all.  I think they will come after us with every single tactic they can.  They are disappointed that the Democratic candidate won't be Hillary, and disappointed that Obama doesn't have any really juicy baggage, but they will take whatever they can find and throw it at us.  Never underestimate them.
