Sore Losers and Sore Winners

The midterm elections of 2010 have come and gone. It would be easy enough to fall into gloating, but the truth is that while we have come a long way since 2008, we're not nearly where we need to be. The Republican party has been forced into the realization that they can't win as the party of big government, but for all the red meat being tossed out there by Boehner, that doesn't mean that they have actually internalized it as a discipline. The Democrats are struggling to find their message now, but their fallback has always been to blame Republicans for everything. The public refused to buy that when congress and the white house were in their hands, but it may be more willing to hear the message when the media continually focuses on Republican congressional victories.
