That is interesting.

2. It is inspiring

but I find that these numbers are very close to the approval numbers that Bush ALWAYS seemed to get...the ONLY ones that support these radical agendas are the firebreathing teabagging base.

3. It's a beautiful solid Majority

It's going to be interesting to see how the Teabaggers and Republicants spin this, and what kind of strategy they'll use from here til Nov. 2012.

These sociopaths get a little power and they pull back their lizard masks, hoping the majority are lizards, too. (Well, we're not, obviously.)

So I predict they'll probably try selling the softer, gentler version of fascism, tighten up their masks a bit.

Still, they can't go off the canned message of death, greed and doom without alienating their sociopathic base, so I look for a similar majority in 2012.

It's a beautiful and yes, interesting evening.

5. Greed & Doom

My brother has been unemployed for almost three years.

Ditto my sister.

We were raised as conservatives but we just can't afford to listen to Rush Limbaugh anymore.

He has no answers, just fear-mongering about "evil communists" or "evil muslims" or "evil hippies".
