19. I HATE Being Right!

I HATE being right! About the only thing in my prediction is that it looks like a lot of young people turned out to vote in the Badger State, something far less likely to happen in Texas. I am back to my pre-Obama victory mindset. I think that the ONLY thing that can wise up an electorate inclined to vote Republicans is hard knocks and painful experience, and THAT is something Progressives aren't very good at providing to the weak, the helpless, the destitute, the struggling, and the ailing.

School is now in session for many of the complacent and denialists who voted Republican last night. Unfortunately, everybody else gets to go through the curriculum.
