re: #63 Slumbering Behemoth

A gentleman’s bet, then. How does “One Upding” sound?

That’s where the “several punishing election defeats in a row” would come into play, but I don’t entirely share you optimistic assessment.

They guy on main street may be getting pissed, but I don’t trust him to have a memory longer than the average election cycle.

Here’s to hoping you win the bet.

I’m betting on the guy on Main Street. He or she has proven to be a whole lot smarter than the morons in DC.

Nowadays those voters are called ‘Independents’ and they are a dangerous lot. They’ll kick a politician to the curb in heartbeat if they think he or she is a pandering, ideological fool.

That’s why Sarah Palin will never be taken seriously.
