I’m quite happy with the results of the US midterms.
1) Lieberman won - Take that Netroots/HyperPartisans! 2) Arnie won - Bipartisan appeal 3) Democratic control of the house
The only downside seems to be Pelosi as house speaker but, whatever, I can live with that. The important thing is that the independents showed their muscle and hyper partisan politics took a beating. Are we looking at retreat from the US’s obligations on the world stage, emphatically no, Pelosi ain’t the president.
What we have to look forward to is a better balanced legislature that keeps the evangelist base in check.
I’m hoping the Democrats will build on this and put forward a candidate in 08 who isn’t a politically incompetent, base-hugging pile of crap. They don’t get to fight against the lowest polling president in 100 years next time around.
Joe had it best:
“I’m Senator Joe Lieberman and I approve of this Election.”
Later
