Well, to quote Meat Loaf, two out of three ain't bad. The conservatives (well, to be more accurate, the GOP, which isn't always the same thing) won Virginia and New Jersey, but lost by a few points in New York. Alright, I'm not going to gloat since that always seems to precede another loss later on. Doug Hoffman, the guy no one heard of until Sarah Palin endorsed him a few weeks ago before his "GOP" rival dropped out and actually endorsed the democrat, did pretty well in NY's 23rd district considering where he started--which is pretty close to nowhere. But maybe New Yorkers weren't jazzed about him since he wasn't the most mesmerizing guy on the block. He was an accountant, so what are you going to do? I'm sure he was nice, but maybe next time he can buy a few Rush Limbaugh "No Limits" neckties to splash it up a bit.
OK, so what does it all prove? Depends on who you ask, like always. The Dems naturally play down those two losses, as Nancy Pelosi did by saying it was a "win" for them over all. She's funny that way, I guess. But there's no denying that Barack Obama going to bat for Corzine didn't do enough to save him. And Deeds in Virginia wasn't going to win even if Jesus had campaigned for him. He didn't, and he didn't.
The way I look at it, there's a push back--and a heavy one--starting up in the country. People of all stripes are not going to sit still for this immense federal spider that is trying to entrap us all and eat us. The 1,990 pages of Soviet-style "health reform" is so monstrous that no one in his right mind would dare sign onto it without reading it...yet I keep seeing where they're gathering politicians to do just that. Well, look for me on Capitol Hill tomorrow. I'll be there with other concerned citizens to say NO to this madness.
You can thank me later.
