Polls and Pols

Can't say it was a big surprise. I told the Republicans two months ago it was time to panic. Not that I'm clairvoyant--the polls have been telling us pretty clearly for some time the Repubs were in trouble.

It's a well-earned rebuke. True, the people were probably rebuking them for the wrong reasons, but a rebuke is a rebuke.

Also as predicted, Joe Lieberman won standing up. How does that fit in to the rebuke?

Then there's the Republican (in name only) man of the hour, our beloved Guv, starring in a sequel. He smashed his opponent so badly that if he were born in Nebraska, he'd be the next President. (Though it's hard to imagine the Terminator without the accent.)

Actually, the vote I was watching most closely was in Michigan--Proposal 2, banning many race and gender preferences. As usual, both parties, showing cowardice above and beyond the call, opposed it. Also, all the big money was against it. They said you might as well be a Klan member if you support it. It passed. As always, when the people are given a clear choice, they say no to judging people by the color of their skin. Too bad it's usually forced on them.
