Those who gloat last, gloat best.

I have been concerned for awhile about the attitude of many on the Left that a Blue Wave is a done deal and in the bag and how when Democrats are in control of at least the House that "we're going to do this" and "we're going to do that". Well there is no Blue Wave until it has actually happened and eating crow is not a pleasant experience. I wish we could dial down the gloating and strutting like the Blue Wave is a done deal.
