Centered thinking

Saxby won in Georgia! Take THAT, Democrats. Just goes to show you this is a Center Right Nation and that the campaigning Superpower known only as Palin is truly an unstoppable force. You can smell the Republican takeover in 2012, can't you? The country is reeling from the devastating hell wrought by the election of Barack Obama.

This just in...

Al Franken is winning in Minnesota?!

But wait! That can't be! This is a Center Right Nation. Norm Coleman represents the will of the people! (Reality check)

Reality Check Exhibit B:


The fact that the Democrats won't have a sixty vote SUPERMAJORITY is not news - it's been pretty clear for a few weeks this was unlikely to happen. It also wouldn't have meant much of anything aside from being a symbolic victory. You would have 60 Democratic and Independent Senators caucusing together, but do you truly believe there would be a single issue that ALL sixty would agree on? Not a chance.

The way forward is bipartisanship. This cannot be a center right or center left nation, it's got to be a centered nation. It's got to be a nation that balances the needs of all of our citizens and not just specific interest groups and ideology. So, in that spirit, I am perfect happy to take a Franken to their Chambliss. Split right down the middle, let's work together and get it done.
