Super Wednesday
So, the Democrats have taken control of the House and likely the Senate. I personally agree with Sen. John McCain when he says conservatives have "lost their way," but I think there's more to it.
* The Republican party in my state, Ohio, has been decimated by scandals and general incompetence. The truth is that in Ohio, Republicans deserved to lose. And they did.
* Then again, it was upsetting to see Mike DeWine go down to someone like Sherrod Brown. Many papers endorsed DeWine, and I had hoped a late push could save his seat. But DeWine was a victim of circumstance. He got pulled into scandals he had nothing to do with, and became a member of a club that the voters just wanted to get rid of.
* I watched the coverage on CNN last night. Bill Bennett and J.C Watts were on, so I can't go on about unbalanced coverage for the left.
But really, how does a hate-filled partisan hack like Paul Begala get a job at CNN?
* Andrew Sullivan certainly appears to be gloating over at his site. I still respect Andrew's opinions, and respect him in general. But he seems to be jumping the gun on the celebration today. He calls himself a conservative, but when he writes a headline like "Catholics come Home" to describe Catholics and their return to the Democratic party, he sounds more like a Democrat cheerleader.
* Did John Kerry really call Ted Kennedy "The best Senator in the history of this country" last night? I'm asking, because that's what it sounded like. If true, the Republicans need to keep cameras by him at all times.
* I called for Donald Rumsfeld's resignation over two years ago. But the criticism on him is unfair, if only for this reason: The Secretary of Defense offered his resignation before, only to have the President refuse it. If you're upset with Rumsfeld, blame Bush. He's the one that has left him there.
* Michelle Malkin suggests the President could go for a minimum-wage hike. Are we sure he's really a conservative?
