Landslide or not?

Whether or not Obama's strong victory constitutes a landslide I'll leave
to others.

What is indisputable, IMO, is that the Democrats' political fortunes
over the Republicans from the 2006 elections until now constitute a
political landslide of Biblical proportions.

From the Republicans controlling the presidency and both houses of
Congress, and speculating (and gloating) about a permanent majority,
they've come to this sorry pass -- a regional party with deep divisions
and no compelling message but the same old same-old.

Now it's up to the Democrats to show that they can get the bus out of
the ditch and govern effectively.

What was that I've been hearing about ACORN and the dubiosity of their
massive registration near Orlando?

I dunno. How many of the dubious registrants voted?

Maybe the better question is how many times they voted.

OK. How many voted at least once?

Missed the questions again!

How many voted more than once?
How many bogus registrations were voted by "legitimate" registrants in
addition to their own vote?
How many voted as the the bogus registrant absentee and then voted again
as their bogus and/or real identity on election day?

..... and the best question may be whether the Republicans will have a
better chance at winning *next time* by blaming Acorn for their
problems or taking a good hard objective look at themselves.

They may take back Congress in 2 years. The economy probably will be even
worse then. Depends if they move somewhat to the middle. To the Goldwater
middle.

And if the past is any indication at all, what they will actually do is
sue the bus manufacturer for making unsafe products while raising its
taxes 50%, ramming unionization down its throat, and requiring it to
switch to only making buses that run on avocado pits and
pass-their-prime bean sprouts, thereby putting it out of business.
They'll then loot a truck manufacturer to pay the former employees not
only their former wages, but give them a big raise as a "stimulus" and
make it illegal for mortgage companies to foreclose on their houses and
cars when they fail to make payments...and they'll pay them via prepaid
Visa cards...of which they'll **** up the distribution...

Gosh, for such a nonpartisan guy you sure are worked up.

Against my better judgment, I'll ask you a serious question (while not
expecting a serious answer).

Do you want our President-elect to succeed?
