Great day for Democrats
The Democrats are celebrating a pretty significant victory. Personally I like the sound of Republican heads popping whenever someone says “House Speaker Pelosi” … try it:
House Speaker Pelosi … pop pop pop
House Speaker Pelosi … pop pop pop
House Speaker Pelosi … pop pop pop
House Speaker Pelosi … pop pop pop
House Speaker Pelosi … pop pop pop
This is fun!

However, I know two jerks who probably had the worst week ever.
Let’s just hope the Democrats have a plan for victory. It one thing to win an election after the ruling party spends the better part of this year self-destructing in a swamp of corruption scandals, sex scandals and sheer stupidity. But to come through after the election, and present a coherent strategy for success and a competent leadership, that is a whole different story.
Especially the leadership issue is a serious challenge for the Democrats. Who calls the shots? I guess that Pelosi just got a lot more powerful, which may be good. She is tough. But what about Reid? And Dean? And the Clintons? I guess we’ll find out.
