Zoltan!!!

A Democratic rout! Hee Hee!

I couldn't have asked for a better Senate outcome: D'Amato and Faircloth out on their asses. And as for losing Mosely-Braun, well, if you have to lose one seat . . . . The House outcome though was stunning: 5 pickups including big swing seats in Mississippi, Pennsylvania, New Mexico. Dornan is stuffed. If only Helen Chenoweth went down, too. The impeachment inquiry is definitely a stone around the necks of Republicans now. They have to go forward "and do their constitutional duty" (as Gingrich and Lott glumly said last night) with absolutely no prospect of winning. And the Christian Right has drawn the line in the sand against censure (Quayle said last night that censure is not supportable). So what is a GOP that is trying to bring the party back to the center to do? Who knows. They're either going to piss off their base, right-wing support or they're going to piss off the American public even more. Their advantage has been totally turned against them.

I'll leave you with this delicious image from last night: Marion Barry on the podium in Washington waving a fond farewell to his nemesis Lauch Faircloth, leading the crowd in a cheer: "Back to your hog farm, Lauch!"

Doughboy.
