3. One would hope that they would end up paying the price at the polls in 2014

I have more confidence in WE, THE PEOPLE since November. We will not be fooled. We will not be buffaloed by tactics like voter suppression. Moreover the "conservative" flim flam, like Swiftboat Lying and Willie Horton, just doesn't seem to work any more.

Not that they are at all deterred.

Two more years of attrition on their white male demographic shouldn't help them at all.

As for last night, does the precedent of 85 "moderates" teaming up with Democrats bode well for governing, as opposed to obstructing? I just don't know the answer to that Kentuck. I keep thinking that losing will help them hit bottom. I would have thought that would have happened already but all I can say here is that we will see.
