Let’s be clear — it wasn’t just a good night for Democrats. It was a good night for progressives, and no media spin that these new elected officials are “conservatives” changes who they are.
It must be nice to live in Nathan’s head — the warm breeze alone
makes it tantalizing. Sure beats thinking about Gazan morgues
filling up daily, among other imperial distractions. Focus on
Comrade Pelosi (some squinting required) and let that breeze
envelope you, Nate.
What in god’s name is he talking about? They were elected in a vast
outpouring of moderation. I notice he doesn’t offer any evidence,
except that they were supported by the netroots, which is an unusual
argument because the politics of the netroots is ambiguous and a lot
of their faves lost.
