Are those the same Political Professionals who said that once we passed the ACA we would win big in the mid terms of 2010?
Or are they the same Political Professionals who said that if Obama was re-elected we would sweep the board?
I've heard all those meme's from the political professionals, who are now singing that Hillary is inevitable. She's the only one with the name recognition. She's the only one who has the campaign machine already running. She's the only one who has the political chops to win. The problem is, these political professionals are losing the Senate right now. http://www.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2014/senate-model/ Right now, Republicans have a 65% chance of winning the Senate.
But that's fine. Because the Political Professionals tell us that these things can never happen. Most Political professionals have a tin ear. They plan on the Rethugs screwing up in the campaigns. Well this year the Rethugs aren't screwing up. They're winning. Despite the plan to use the Hobby Lobby decision as the cudgel to wave at the voters. The Republicans insist on running winning campaigns.
So while the Political Professionals are certain that the sun will rise in the West tomorrow, the rest of us can look out and see what is really happening. Now, I'm going to find a hammer to bash my compass until it agrees with the Political Professionals. I wouldn't want to challenge their wisdom. They've done so much to make the Democratic dream come alive. Or something.
