If Tuesday pans out the way we think it will, with gains in the House for Democrats, perhaps even a pickup in the Senate, and the reelection of the President there are two groups of people that are going to have to rethink what they are doing and how out of touch they are.
(1) The GOP. While the 27% will likely enter into a collective unconscious nut meltdown singularity that may actually provide physicists with a superior opportunity to watch high energy particles than LHC, I can't believe that at least one or two senators and a few others won't go the Chris Christie route and have their "Sister Souljah" moment with the nutjobs formerly known as the Tea Party that will have to build themselves up with a new facade from the astroturf roots again after this.
Nominating a former moderate and making him dress up as a "severe conservative" didn't fool anyone who wasn't going to vote for a Republican anyway. What you need is ... a moderate. Democrats didn't take Obama and force him to talk like Dennis Kucinich in 2008, and we didn't take Bernie Sanders and make him talk like Mike Bloomberg. We just got Obama (and Clinton) to be themselves.
The era of big government may have been declared over by Bill Clinton, but next Tuesday will declare and end to the era of no government. Republicans can find themselves an Eisenhower or they can continue to surf the demographic waves into Whighood.
(2) The MSM. They have shamed themselves and this country with their gawdawful coverage of this election, with the failure to even pretend to check facts and with the self-appointed fact checkers jumping even deeper into the "balance" meme.
All so they won't lose viewers to Fox. But look what being inside the Fox bubble has done to the Republican party. Since 2005, they've only been able to take back the House despite a favorable electorate in 2010 and a terrible economy that wasn't recovering. In 2010, there were a lot of people looking for answers because of how bad things were. And they still didn't get them.
But the media isn't supposed to be story telling. It's not supposed to be a soap opera. They're not supposed to be stenographers or party hacks, either. And the fact that they have been only shows that they are desperate to stay relevant with the dinosaur generation that still watches so much tv and is so socially conservative.
I won't say that they hurt America. I mean, they have, but they are hurting themselves. By 2016 or 2020, what's playing on the nightly news with Ken Doll and the beard on CNN won't matter, if they're still around.
But mostly, above all, they need to get these idiots who never get anything right, who are wrong more than a stopped clock, these so called "experts" off the TV. Especially the Republican ones. How can you be paid to be wrong?
Dick Morris, Tom Friedman, Chunky Bobo, Mark Penn, I'm talking to you. Go get a real job. You'd all make great degenerate gamblers.
