Ok, so we're screwed.

So the Californina 50th goes right back into the hands of a GOP lobbist. And democrats want to celebrate because it was closer than it should have been? The time for moral victories was last year when a sane man in Virginina bested a raving lunitic by a narrow margin. This country can't afford to live on moral victories any more. Unless this country reverses it's path from the ineffectiveness of conservative policy, then we will be doomed to the same fate as Geramny.

We will get too big for our britches, and the world will unite to bring us down. Friends will become foes, etc. Then aour markets will crash and there will be no saftey net. In that case it will not be the poor that suffer, it will be the newly poor. Come on, everybody saw Seabuscuit right? Now, I'm not opposed to stock brokers and investor class folk jumping out of windows; but the double edged sword of middle class exploitation and hubris is driving me crazy.

People will say the the California 50th is a solidly Republican district that hasn't had a real challenge in decades. Be that as it may, these San Diegoins...San Diegeans....San Diegoites? whatever, went and put the same kind of guy in Duke Cunninghams seat; and further more, he doesn't even live there. This guy lives in Alexandria!
