There are not as many mean old people as you think -- but they get stoked up on rage, and go out and vote. So WE have to get the vote out. Liberals stayed home everywhere except in the NY-23 race.
And we have to "take it to" the culture warriors. Combative angry ranting won't work; Limbaugh's and Beck's and Hoffman's and Palin's rant-populism show us that a "new paradigm" is called for. I am sure that there are hundreds of things we could do that are overlooking. Sure, we're all disappointed and angry, but we only have 51 weeks to get ready for the NEXT election.
It ain't over yet.
