I've seen this rumbling already, and I'm not surprised. Honestly, a few weeks ago my biggest concern was an outright theft, with the GOP using the loss to "prove" to America that the democratic party is over, finished forever. With the usual DLC suspects signing up for the beat down, lapping it up like thirsty hounds. Now I don't think it will be that extreme, but I think a variation of the theme will be used as a major smack-down, even if we win. Especially if we only win the house, and then double that if we don't win the house by a resounding margin. The talking point will be -- and again, I've already seen it brewing on other sites -- that with the horrible poll numbers for the GOP, with the terrible scandals which surround seemingly every member of the party, with the worst president in history and his subterranean poll numbers, with everything seeming to be going in our favor this time, the fact that the democrats could barely eek out a (XX) seat gain is proof positive that the party has nothing to offer. That while we gained, we actually lost because we should have won in a landslide the way the GOP did. "They" will use it as a vindication of sorts for continued support of BushCo's anti-Constitution policies and imperialist war mongering.
Bookmark this post. The excuse machine will be catapulting the BushCo victory-in-defeat propaganda like nothing you've ever seen.
Of course...I could be wrong. The Wednesday headlines could all be about the total meltdown of the voting systems instead.
