The Ostroy Report and thousands of other blog and web sites are trumpeting the big Democratic win in the gubernatorial races in Jersey and Virginia. I'm not going to speculate on what this portends for the future, but it feels pretty damned good tonight.There are plenty of other juicy morsels in the news too: Karl Rove patiently waiting to resign until it is a bit more seemly; President's Bush's pluging approval ratings, now hovering in the 35% range; the rift between the President and Vice-President; President Bush stumping in Virginia in the governor's race (too little, too late); The President cranky after skipped meals and late bedtimes, not to mention massive protests and riots wherever he appeared; Harry Reid's Rule 21 gambit; a new leak (and potential investigation) of information about secret U.S. prisons abroad for interrogation and torture; the deficit nightmare. . .I could go on.
It can't be pretty in The White House tonight.If we sent The President to France tomorrow, the whole place would go up in flames. The good news about all of this is that The Democrats don't even need a plan, and don't need to take action. We sit on our hands and watch the administration disintegrate.
One year from now the mid-term elections occur. Just what kind of a bloodbath will that be? It feels like we have lost our President. Where do we go from here?
