Liberal columnist E. J. Dionne, Jr., quotes a Democratic operative who deserves the Martin Luther Catechism Award for putting the best construction upon everything:
Nathan Daschle, the executive director of the Democratic Governors Association, argues that if the Republicans do as well as is expected, 2010 would be the third election in a row in which voters cast ballots for change, the very quest for a “new direction” that propelled Democrats such as Murphy into office four years ago.
via E.J. Dionne Jr. – Victories that are hardly mandates.
So, see, if the Republicans win in a landslide, that shows the public is really sympathetic to the Progressive cause!
Actually, though, he has a point. People want change, but the nature of that change matters.
If Americans keep voting for change, why haven’t they gotten it? Or is it that they don’t like the change they have gotten and want to change it back? What changes do you think might happen with this election?
