Excellent article, just a minor point:

In Florida, Gov. Rick Scott's second consecutive one-point victory means that Republicans will be in control for 20 years in what is now the nation's third-largest state.

This creates the sense that the GOP in FL has been monolithic for a generation. Don't forget, however, that eight of those years were Jeb Bush, who was a good manager but in terms of ideology was Bob-Graham-lite, a switch from center-left to center-right. Then the next four years were...Charlie Crist, who made Jeb Bush look like Jesse Helms, and who wanted to jump from governor to Senator (to President, but I digress) so fervently that he dumped his party to try to beat Marco Rubio in the Senate, and then somehow convinced the Democrats to let him be their standard-bearer this year. And then there's Rick Scott, who is also a good manager but no Scott Walker, much less a Ted Cruz or Sarah Palin. I will thank God every day of the next four years that my governor is Scott rather than Crist, but there are no Cruz-conservatives in the FL GOP pipeline that I can see: I can live with someone like Adam Putnam or Pam Bondi, maybe even Charles Canady, as the next governor, but the ideological inspiration will have to come from elsewhere.

Point #3 is a good one, and one I hadn’t thought of. Obviously Senator Reid hadn’t thought about it either, or he would have done something different.

Talk about irony.

“Democrats see themselves as the party of the future. But their policies are antique. The federal minimum wage dates to 1938, equal pay for women to 1963, access to contraceptives to 1965. Raising these issues now is campaign gimmickry, not serious policymaking.

Democratic leading lights have been around a long time. The party’s two congressional leaders are in their 70s. The governors of the two largest Democratic states are sons of former governors who won their first statewide elections in 1950 and 1978.”

The rats are ruled and controlled by some very ugly and rapidly aging old goats like: Reid, Pelosi, the Clintoons, Californicator’s very old hags, Boxer/Finestein and Governor Moonbeam, Madam SOS/ Kerry. These anti America old goats gained their reputations and power in the anti America movement of the 1960’s/70’s.

They never have anything to offer besides bs like so called racism, the war on women and how evil Republicans are.

They have mortgaged the future of the sons and daughters of their voters by increasing the national debt to pay for their voters like expensive War on Poverty.

Their hopeful young leaders are abortion barbies with zero morality and intelligence and their neutered Ken Dolls. They mouth the virtue of abortion and free birth control and whine about the non war on women and the phoney racism.

The two biggest black racist thugs today, Jackson and Sharpton are rapidly aging and growing more irrelevant each day.

We have many young and good Senators and congress women/men in both houses. Each day they will make their aging anti American ugly hippies in Congress look and act more irrelevant each day.

Look at the Republican young governors and legislators in so many states. They are young, smart and can lead instead of intimidating like their left wing counterparts, who are caught in their mythical worlds of the 1950/70’s.

Hopefully, the DNC/ABCNNBCBS will continue to show America the aging losers like the Clintoons, Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, Finestein and their abortion Barbies and their neutered Ken Dolls as their leaders.

In the meantime, their big voting blocks of anti America aging hippies are checking into big rat retirement homes which are really like the old Roach Hotel ads. The old hippies check in and don’t check out. Good voter ID laws and procedures like in Ohio will keep them from voting after they leave this orb.

Moonbeam won his first term as Governor in 1974. I was a senior in high school at the time.

Democratic governance, in contrast, was rebuked by the voters in Massachusetts, in Maryland (with the nation's fourth highest black population in percentage terms) and in Obama's home state of Illinois.

maybe blacks have had it with the RATS and are ready to switch parties...why dont the GOp reach out to them instead of going along with amnesty in hopes of picking up any crumbs that the RATS miss.
