This election isn't about FR's little battles.

We held our base solidly. But the GOP didn't hold the independents. It's that simple

WRONG. At least here in MD, the base did not come out on the eastern shore and in western Md.
Lets not forget a lot of dems in the south and mid west ran as conservatives. I know what will happen when they get to DC...they will be socialists. But they fooled enough people.

Oh, then they will be punished for sitting out the election. They'll learn. Morons.

Some of them are Blue Dogs. Zell Miller types. And they don't owe anything to the Clintons or Pelosi. In fact, Pelosi is catering to that bunch, having recruited them and funded them. She gets Speaker for the effort but they ain't walkin' the plank for Comrade Pelosi's leftist ideas. And some of them, like Jim Webb, make no bones about hating the Clintonization of their party.

One of the most interesting things I saw last night was John Breaux. He said almost nothing but looked very very satisfied. He seemed to me to be silently celebrating the resurgence of the old culturally conservative populist Southern Dems. Can't blame him, it's been lonely for guys like him and Zell Miller in D.C.

Not all of these new Dims are Pelosicrats.
