Booyah - Wow. We did

Booyah - Wow. We did it.

Nah. "We", the GOP, didn't do it. We put out a message The voters did it.

Why? The polls a week ago were actually looking just a tad dicey for us - promising in some areas, grim in others.

And yet this is the biggest electoral turnaround since I was in high school.

Andrew Sullivan put it this way, and I agree totally:

This was a vote for Bush, for prosecuting the war on terror, for the tax cut. More important, it was a vote against the hollow negativism, cowardice and mediocrity of the current Democratic Party. They have nothing to say; and that matters. Their predicament is deeper than this result suggests. Since Bush passed his tax cut and since September 11, the Democrats have been cornered.

And this applies even more to the Minnesota DFL. Their entire message is fear - and even when wrapped in Paul Wellstone's firey style, it will was.
