I really can't complain

MANIFESTO

Besides the hideous Tom Foley, the Democrats had a very good election in Connecticut. The entire state-wide Democratic underticket prevailed, and the locals in my area triumphed as well. It looked to be fairly close in the state's fourth and fifth House districts, but the incumbent Democrats won.

Nationwide, of course, the booboisie had its way, but even here I don't think things will be any worse than they've been the last two years. And with the moron McConnell predicting no less than an absolute stoppage of legislative action between now and 2012, the election results seem not to mean much.

One thing that was amply demonstrated, though, is how little political clout a certain half-term ex-governor from Alaska evinced as her grizzly mamas, Angle and O'Donnell, and the cretinous Joe Miller all went down to defeat. Whether or not this means anything as 2012 approaches, of course, remains to be seen.

UPDATE — I obviously spoke too soon on the race for governor. See above.
