Episode 59: Yes! We Did!

It worked.

The rallies. The speeches. The pledges. The phone banks. The emails. The texting. The lawn signs. The doorknocking.

Now it's our turn.

*****************************
Signs and bumper stickers seen or reported along the campaign trail:

"Annoy a Republican. Think for yourself."

"Try being informed instead of just opinionated."

"Oh, look, honey - Another Pro-Lifer for War."

"The Republicans spent your Social Security on their wars."

And my personal favorite, on a sign with a Confederate flag:

"Rednecks for Obama. Even we've had enough."

"When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."

Other Good Things That Happened

* With a new Senate majority of 56 and maybe another two or three yet to be determined,

Democrats no longer have to suck up to Joe Lieberman, the so-called Independent Democrat who's been providing the critical sole majority vote to the Democratic caucus for two years. Avidly pro-Israel, a strong supporter of the Iraq war who has pushed the idea of violent action against Iran, the whiny, sanctimonious Lieberman will probably lose his committee chairmanships and may even be drummed out of the party. The Republicans want him. Good riddance.

* Elizabeth Dole. spouse of Bob, tried to tar her church lady Democratic opponent as hanging out with (gasp!) atheists. Liddy (she hates that nickname) ran a desperate last-week commercial that tied Hansen to a group called "Godless Americans" because she attended a dinner sponsored in part by the founder of that organization. Voters in North Carolina, a robustly religious state, rejected the distortion, turning out Liddy after only one term.

* Randy Kuhl, the congressman from upstate New York who declared that the Democrats wanted Americans "to suffer and hurt" for political gain...lost.
