Re: The Right Thing
Well, he did have that spendid ski house in Utah. I'm sure he & Ann would feel very comfortable amongst their comrades in Salt Lake.

Re: Bubbles
I think the monied Republicans will finally realize the tea-baggers are losing them the Senate - now twice in a row. They'll retain control of the RNC brand, forcing out the fringe.
The Randian Conservatives will break out & follow a Paulite, w/ a Senator already in place. They'll peel off quite few pundits & other money makers, as well as the crazies like Nugent & Victoria Jackson. I predict she'll be featured on the next installment of Trump's apprentice atrocity.
Question is - who will get Ryan's endorsement? He's still in place to be a player in 2016.

Re: Nate Silver Is A Witch
Have you seen the movie Money Ball?

It's the same concept - old guard pundits & managers vs. new-fangled tech computations. Guts & truthiness fight actual numbers, run through a system.
I happen to prefer Nate Silver & Jonah Hill types, but I'm just weird that way.

Re: Facing Up to the Enormity of Our Problem
The problem you philosophical conservatives have is your premise. That article throws all the usual 'socialist' propaganda about Obama at the wall, but nothing sticks.
The truth is Obama is a centrist dealmaker, not a mind-bending ideologue insistant on destroying this country.
Until you check your premise, your arguements fall far short of dealing with reality.

Re: Better face the nature of the problem first
What makes you think there would have been a surging recovery in his first term if obama got his way? He could have passed whatever we wanted to his first two years. There was absolutely nothing standing in his way since his party held the leads of power in both houses of congress and the presidency.
Wrong, again, young FEY. Check your premise.

Re: Better face the nature of the problem first
The democrats did not have the votes to fight the republican filibuster in the senate, but for about 2 months when Kennedy was still alive & Franken had finally been seated.
You should research this stuff before using it to bolster your argument. Makes you looks lazy when you don't.

summary
We did it right. Thanks to all who contributed to the win.
FEY - try responding instead of jeering. Just sayin'.
