Re: the election
Not a day goes by that someone asks us what we thought of the election results, or that we hear hosannas in the streets for the routing of the Republican Machine. Both N and I have had a hard time verbalizing our despondence; it just seems too morose to those so ravaged by the losses in 2004. But here’s a wonderfully articulate piece from Diane McWhorter on Slate that gives words to my fears. The final line: "If the midterm election was a referendum on nothing more than Bush’s competence, then the message the Republicans have gotten is: Next time, make it work."
Indeed, the horror.
