a few things i learned last night.

So a few things I learned from the election last night and its aftermath:

1. Daddy is going to bail out W once again. Robert Gates - the new, improved Rummy, comes directly for daddy Bush's circle. James Baker will provide a shield for W to hide behind next week.
2. George W Bush essentially quit today during the news conference. The subtext of the whole thing was A. "I am taking my toys and leaving" and B. "Please don't investigate my peeps to much. I promise to be nice until I am out of here. "
3. Karl Rove is not a genius and never was. He won because he had weak opponents ( Donna Brazille and Bob Shrum) was willing to be utterly amoral, and was shrewd enough to leave no tracks. A forceful Democratic team spanked his sorry ass.
4. The W years are - as we liberals have been saying all along - a failure of epic proportions. Should the admin. recover a bit before 2008 it will be because moderates from Daddy Bush's realm do the work.
5. The anti choice phonys got bitch slapped in South Dakota. The country is pro choice.
6. The Neo cons are dead and gone. And not because the administration is dysfunctional (it is) or because no one followed through after the invasion (rummy's stupidity) - the neo cons have been thrown on to the ash heap of history - BECAUSE THEY WERE WRONG.
7. Rove's "permanent majority" is history. Why? Because it was based on dirty tricks, fear mongering and patronage - not ideas.
8. Dems have some major new stars. And Montana has just become the most powerful small state in the nation.
9. Thank God the governor of West Virginia is a Democrat. (figure it out)
10. Jack Murtha has more integrity than every person in the W admin. combined.
11. Elliot Spitzer could be the first Jew elected President.
