Give the Democrats Their Due
Take an unpopular President, an unpopular war, a Congress out of touch with real people and what do you get you get? Congressmen-elect Donnelly, Hill and Ellsworth. On the local level, straight-ticket voting was the life saver for Marion County Democrats. It helped them that beat most of the Marion County Republican Get out the vote. When township trustees and assessors at the local level are getting beat in predominately Republican townships, you know there is trend going. The one ray of sunshine in all this for the GOP is Carl Brizzi. Brizzi’s margin of victory was much smaller than the experts anticipated, only five points. But still a win in a Democratic County in a Democratic year. The analysis will be occurring for days on this, but the one thing I can say, is never underestimate a ticked off electorate. The Democrats won this one fair and square. They outdid the GOP. Give them their due. Please spare me that the American people voted for the terrorists to win. That gets real old real quick. If you don’t like the results of this election, get out and work harder next time.
