If you feel like talking about the election, feel free to do it here. In most cases, I don’t care if Dems lose, they deserve it, but a couple likely losses will sadden me: Feingold and Grayson.
Update: Grayson has lost. Blanche Lincoln is also down.
Update 2: Feingold down.
Regarding Grayson,well we have a little controlled experiment. His neighboring first term Democratic congresswoman Suzanne Kosmas, in a very similar district, took the opposite approach to Grayson. She ran as hard to the right as she could get away with, never had a controversial thought much less uttered one, was rewarded with big money and support from the DCCC — and she lost too. This race was bigger than both of them. Florida is turning hard right.
Update 3: As a friend pointed out at this point it looks like in the House 25 Blue Dogs lost, and 4 progressives. Therefore the Progressive movement is doomed.
Yeah.
