Pace, Sen. Wellstone.
Okay, we had a really bad, terrible day, and we knew it was coming, but we are still standing and we'll be back again -- probably sooner than some think. So below the fold, there's something to make our lives happier in the meanwhile....
While I greatly respect the courageous men and women who actually won districts that John McCain carried in 2008, it would be unrealistic to expect that we'd keep all of those districts. I feel badly for them, but that's the risk of succeeding in a district loyal to the other side.
Anyway, two can play that game and we definitely should over the next two years. So here goes: does anyone know which Republicans won in "traditionally" Democratic seats last night? The GOP targeted Democrats in "traditional" Republican districts -- can't we return the favor and target the new GOP reps who won last night in long-term Democratic districts? Let's make every day miserable for them for the next two years, and hope they treat the GOP agenda with the same disdain that Blue Dogs gave the Democratic agenda for the last two years. Sounds like fun!
Where's John King with his Magic Wall when you need him?
