Big Wins for the Democrats

Yeah yeah, I know what you are thinking. The extremists are taking over the country. Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are kingmakers and Sarah Palin will be our next President. Fret not. Yesterday was a big win for the Democrats and those of us that subscribe to our party's left of center philosophy ought to rejoice. The mainstream always wins in a National Election and extremists tend to prevail during primary season. Once November comes around, people won't vote for a person who wants to stop Unemployment insurance, repeal Social Security, put prayer in the school, try abortion doctors as murderers and put Muslims in internment camps. The Palin backed candidates may win now, but we are still mainstream enough as a nation not to put such people in power. Before yesterday, Delaware was likely to switch in the Senate to a Republican, but not now. Harry Reid was a sure loser, now his opponent is giving him a real chance. So before you lose all hope and continue to fear that extremism is pervasive in the land, have some faith. Thanks should go out to those voters who put these maniacs on the Republican ballot for November. You have unwittingly given the Democrats some real hope of avoiding a disaster. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
