Everyone thought they knew what would happen today
David Corn @DavidCornDCThis is why we call it news. Everyone thought they knew what would happen today. Guess what.

...I always counsel that politics isn't a static enterprise. It's nebulous and dynamic.
Indeed, the political forces will often not bend to the will of the people without strong activism and advocacy. It's no secret that politicians are as politically afraid as they are politically craven, and there are myriad opportunities to compel these politicians to do their jobs. It makes no sense to respond to their political obstinacy like Eeyore, insisting that republicans are some immovable force, just because they threaten to acquit.
