I think that you’re absolutely correct.

By fixating on The One and his slippery narcissism, we too easily lose track of what is really going on. The lesson of this election, if he does indeed win, is that a message gets in the way of victory. Cultivate a shiny, cool, smooth surface and look for the wave.

It is a real mistake to confuse a possible victory for Senator Government with a victory for his ideologies. Non of the issues have been discussed and Joe the Plumber caused a real panic in his ranks.

We must hold our phalanx and press forward. Quoth lady Thatcher: “This is no time to get wobbly.” When the new congress convenes we have to use every force multiplying trick, every theatric device and every good argument at our disposal to hamstring the majority.

What we can’t afford is to passively watch and say “I told you so.”
