Not always. They weren't able to filter the Carter years, and if Pelsoi has her way, not even she can hide behind the press.
Americans have forgotten how bad things can be. Ms. Pelosi's and her team will remind them.
Per ABC:
MO: Talent trailing McCaskill... 49/48 ... 80% reporting.... Have not counted KC yet!
MT: Burns trails Tester... 14% counted.
VA: 99% counted; Allen behind 2,000 votes.
I know a lot of people that voted for Perot, and later said they regreted it. This election was not a good thing for us, but I don't think it's a good idea to start wailing. Fiscal conservatives need social conservatives, and we both need some moderates. From what I'm seeing, they're saying the Rats need 3 to control the Senate. I think they have them with VA, Missouri and Montana.
We'll dust ourselves off, pick up the pieces, and move forward. To tell the truth, whenever you see Democrats campaigning hard in NY, it's a bad night for the Rats, and when you see Republicans campaigning hard in Texas, it's a bad night for the Republicans.
Saddle up boys and girls. The world begins again tomorrow.
