Silver lining

For all the bitching I've done about the Tuesday Night Massacre (and I've actually been nice--every big Liberal being pushed as a saviour like Eric Griego and Norman Saloman got beat, too), after today I do see a silver lining.  I noticed in several comments sections that republicans are, as usual, overplaying their hand.  Many of them have been crowing the last couple of days (in fairness, had Barrett won I'd have flown to California and danced on Reagan's grave), and now seem to think that victory is possible in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

No, it's not--the polling aggregates are showing safe leads for Obama in all three states, and the average voter is going to be taking the summer off from politics (with family vacations and the kids out of school most folks are already busy enough) which gives the republicans exactly two months to try to reduce those leads.


So please, by all means, go ahead and pour millions into losing ventures--it's just money that won't be going to states you might win.

Peace,
