The Democrats were right. The American people did speak, they hated the Republicans. Now it's happening again. You can't use the argument one year and not expect it to come back on you the next. That's what's happening. Senior level aides are now even admitting that they overtouted the wins in 2008 and may have overplayed their hand.

The country (and even the world) may swerve right just a bit for awhile, but this isn't a referendum of the American people turning Republican. It's a whole bunch of pissed off people that don't know what else to do, just like it was two years ago.

If you jump left fast, there is going to be another big jump right fast. The two of them fighting back and forth will find some sort of balance. At least that's how it was designed...
