If Obama wins, the Democrats will lose control of both houses in two years.

A speech for the ages. The birth of a new star in politics. I heard someone refer to her as the female Ronald Reagan

Ah Septemeber, when Robbie smugly celebrated the “brilliance” of Mccain’s VP pick, while I marked it as the beginning of the end of his incoherent campaign. How’s that crow’s pie tasting right now?

More than one-quarter of voters said they were less likely to vote for McCain because Sarah Palin was his running mate, more than the 22% who said she made them more likely to vote for him. In September, Palin drew in more voters than she put off.

Forty-three percent of voters felt she was qualified to be president, a far lower percentage than the 76% who judged Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden as qualified. Palin was the least popular of the four principal candidates.

I am disappointed.

Get comfortable with that emotion. It should serve you well in the years to come.

Demographics cement Democratic congressional majority for at least six, and possibly sixteen, years: Since voting habits set in after a person reaches 30, a new generation that grew up and began voting under Bush will be used to voting for Democrats after this election. The country will continue to become less white and less Christian at rapid rates, providing Democrats with a natural edge in elections. While the country has given Republicans and conservatives roughly a 51%-48% base advantage in elections from 1986 forward, that 3% base edge will now flip toward Democrats. It isn’t a guarantee, but it is a nice head start. With majorities approaching 100 and 20 seats in the House and Senate respectively, it will be enough to hold onto Congressional power for at least six years, and possibly sixteen.
