Just sayin’. Can you feel it? I think I can literally feel it.
I think the dam has literally broken. The last few weeks and the next two may be studied by political scientists for decades to come as one of the more dramatic short-term political shifts in the modern history of America, if not ever.
Sure, the wave was on fairly early into the Congressional races, and it’s a pretty optimistic assessment, but as a casual observer the last 20 years or so, that’s my take.

I can feel it.
I can feel it, but then I’m pushing it too. I’ve been pulling and pushing it leftward for a long long time.
This comes from taking care of patients who got much sicker because of lack of affordable, universal health care.
I’ve taken care of too many diabetics, for instance, who died after horrible struggles. Kidney failure, blindness, amputations, and finally death. We have a huge, rich country and we can afford preventative care for our citizens. Period!
I remember thinking this in 1992 (GHWB was out, Clinton was in, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein had just been elected from California; change was in the air! A new era was dawning…

Just saying.)

The GOP will insist that Voters still love their ideas.
Of course if that were true McCain would be wining.
I keep getting the image of the coasts of this country DRAGGING the middle part, kicking and screaming, into the 21st Century. Let’s hope we all got enough stamina to finish the job – and corral any stragglers!
