We wouldn’t call it a forfeit, but it’s the first word that comes to mind.
After realizing a generous portion of Americans are a bit peeved with the bigwigs they sent to Washington to sort through the Bush-era wreckage, Democratic officials are reorganizing and reloading their troops for November’s
red-and-blue bloodbath that’s expected to send more asses to the cleaners than elephants.
Telling media they plan to redirect resources to candidates running in solidly blue districts, Democratic officials are quickly letting Americans in on their dirty little not-so-secret secret: We’re in trouble.
What happened to that whole “Yes, we can!” rah-rah crap? Was that just a big tease, Dems?
We realize you’re tired from, you know, ending the war in Iraq, enacting historic social welfare legislation providing health care to millions of
poor Americans and some other unimportant things, but you’re going to need to pull your asses together if you’re at all hopeful.
Only needing 39 seats to gain control of the House, Republicans are stepping up their A-game as they sit high atop their tuffets savoring their curds and whey and bask in the biggest Tea Party the nation has ever seen.
And a ballot without a chance of electing the nation’s first black president with a smile that never quits spells sour for Democrats who fear even their own want a sip of the tea.
But the truth is our nation is different now than it was two years ago.
It’s the American way. Midterm elections are no stranger to incumbent-party slaughter, and this November should be no surprise when we see those fancy interactive election maps turn redder than an Arkansas native’s neck.
At a time when the D.C. has become so politically segregated into blue guys in the front of the bus and red guys at the back, perhaps a change can help mend some of these differences.
