> NEWSMAX! Yes understanding our gross mistakes IS helpful.
If you find fingerpointing and picking over the scabs of a painful defeat to be therapeutic, then knock yourself out... I don’t think it is helpful because the gross mistakes are all well understood by everybody.
It’s time to regroup and resolve to limit the damage to a very short four years. Otherwise it will certainly extend to eight.
I do and I am not alone. However I am hopeful that this loss forces the cleaning that 92 did with republican party. I knew this weeks loss was most likely and I know Obama will drop in polls but what I am not sure of yet is whether the bad ecomomy will continue to favor Ob and Pelosi. Study Ob and lets see how he lets down his believers.
On opposition, study Pelosi ,I watched her the past few years and she really played all her cards. We must in short term act like we want Ob to succeed. then wait till they try something crappy looking that can be slowed and turned public against, then again, and again, each victory becomes easier as middle democrats get more and more angry phone calls and letters. In fact the crazier stuff they try, the better, slow progress at first. Bob Dole ran a great opposition senate 1993-94, its possible.
Clinton demonized Newt Gingrich successfully in 95, but Bush/McCain strategy 2007 was to work with democrats, and a get a few vetos, but Pelosi was left unknown, and so there was Tuesday,
