back in blue

Let me just say ... Yay Democrats! It is nice to see someone in power finally facing some of the consequences of their actions. The last 5 years in American politics have been an unmitigated disaster ... hopefully we are witnessing a first step towards rehabilitation.

Also, in case you are tempted to take seriously anything written by political reporter Adam Nagourney in the NY Times ever again, this not-so-prescient article should put that idea to rest. When Karl Rove confidently predicts victory for his party in 2002 and 2004, it's good politics. When Democrats do it in 2006, it's hubris. What a joker.
