Politics, and especially elections are kind of like tossing a pebble into a calm pond. Once it lands, you get a series of concentric circles, with no way of knowing what the ultimate effect can be. And that's the...
Over the coming days we will hear a lot of rationalizations from Right Wing talking heads, radio propagandists and politicians concerning the failure to launch of the prophesied and breathlessly anticipated “red wave” last night; and the vast majority...
