We aren't the underdogs anymore.

Is that right? No more bleeding heart liberal who just can't cut a break; who practically has to beg for votes? No more angry left? You mean we won? Well what are we supposed to complain about now? What’s a democratic gal like myself to do?

We keep going. Nothing stops here. There are plenty of Fox News supporting republi-bots out there who are just waiting for us to scamper back to our lattes and abortion clinics [or worse, our low-income housing] while the guy we just elected throws American flags and bibles down the toilet, along with what’s left of our economy. But what I’m wondering is…are these crazies still our major adversaries? Or will we see the face of the Republican party change?

Wonkette gave a succinct summary of how they see things going down:

…And it really could happen, and probably will happen. Probably a new Tory-Elitist-Educated party, based in the Northeast and led by … Bloomberg? He has plans. And probably a Western branch led by Arnold. But the dumb-redneck era of politics is over, forever, we hope

.

On the other hand, we have Sarah Palin and Tall thinking about her run for presidency, with the “base” in her pocket. But how big is that base nowadays, really? Should it even be called that? The only age group that McCain did better with were the geriatrics. The base? The base is dying.

I believe in a government of give and take, of differences in opinion, and of multiple parties. I don’t want to see the Republican party crash and burn. Maybe this walk into the woods will be good for them. Change your tactics, Republicans, and maybe I’ll respect ya the morning after.
