CNN pundits roundtable already trying to hijack the Democratic landslide - saying that they have to move right. Carville asks why are they analyzing and telling Dems how to govern and how in blazes they can say, when Republicans have lost 14 Senate seats, 55 House seats and the Presidency, that this is a Republican country? Begala backs Carville up.

Amazing how stupid the pundits are. Unfortunately I expect the Dem leadership will be just as stupid. The blogs want a job now? Push back against this BS.

    Apparently Obama is going to reach out to Republicans very quickly.  Now, the real work begins.

    Oh, and I heart Carville and Begala.

    I hope Obama doesn't take Missouri. He can win without our 11 electoral votes and it would be better if McCaskill's strategy failed for us going forward. She is a tremendous disappointment. Claire's idea of reaching out to Republicans means caving and embracing bad Republican policies. She doesn't understand the value in Democratic governance where Democrats are successful because they have better policies and ideas. Claire is the sort of Democrat we need to weed out.

    and it's only one, I don't mind. But let's wait and see.

    It reminds me of third-world countries where the incumbents are voted out, but refuse to leave and instead offer a power-sharing agreement to the winners. Ridiculous. But, let's wait and see.

    dumber. That lady in the white outfit is literally saying complete nonsense.

    One of those idiots said Obama won because he ran left in the primaries and CENTER in the general election. He did the opposite! Even my cat knows that. How come the professionals are so STUPID!?

    From the Orlando Sentinel - Suzanne Kosmas beats Tom 'St Andrews' Feeney.

    With 77 percent of the expected vote counted, Kosmas has 58 percent and Feeney had 41 percent.

    I think this is the first time I will ever live in a Democratic district. Even in California I lived in HB under Rohrabacker. I'm happy!

    after the 2006 election, flying in the face of the evidence, and it will be even worse this time. Amazingly, watching the BBC, I am being subjected to Mark Penn, John Bolton and David Frum, together with clueless reporters asking stupid questions of rock-ribbed Republicans, capped by an interview with an unctuous Rupert Murdoch. And you probably thought a real (former, anyway) socialist party was in power in Britain.

    Anybody who has thought that a Republican defeat in this election was going to permit us to rest on our oars a bit will wake up to find that the power structure in our country has no intention of conceding without a bitter fight. And we'd better be ready to give them one.

    When talking about whether Obama can bring House Republicans on board with his programs, he said 'it doesn't matter'. Yes - hope the Dems keep that in mind too.
