GREETINGS!!!
I wanted to first say, Congratulations to the democrats. They won an election.
They did several effective things. Among them, “stay the course” and hiding pelosi for the past week.
Kudos to them.
If rahm emanuel (sp?) manages to get some sleep/not die, the bad guys might have found Rove-light.
As far as the Republicans. This was clearly a referendum on the party in power. When they regain control of the legislatures (circa next cycle) they are going to need another disclipined leader, like Tom Delay.
They need to run a much more vocal and effective Congress.
That is the only way to keep the pendulum from swinging against them.
As for the democrats, I want you to watch them very closely. You are about to see their divisions and problems come to the fore. They can no longer carp/whine/complain to high heaven. They have to produce. It’s like a one rep max. You can hide your weaknesses when you are repping. But, maximal effort exposes your faults.
Kudos to George W. Bush for taking the offensive today and the headlines.
Unfortunately, for us, he is just now starting to understand that the War on Terror is fought on the battlefield AND on the airways.
He needs to drive the agenda
Finally, I want you to watch how the Republicans handle this defeat. They will learn from it. I fully expect the treading to be much easier in 2008 due to the results from last evening.
I’ve thought about the bet. Since none of the bad guys took me up on the bet, I agree that I’m not obligated to change my name.
However, I don’t want to be seen as a poor loser. I’ll compromise.
Therefore, congratulations to the bad guys on their win last night.
Signed,
GeorgeBushLied1
