I thought the Republicans were crazy to keep McConnell and Boehner as leaders after their record of failure was seemingly cemented in 2008. So, I don’t know why Allahpundit is so certain that Pelosi won’t be able to lead a comeback. Every time there is a wave election a bunch of clowns get elected. For us, one was definitely Eric Massa. Some would argue that Grayson falls into that category as well. I wouldn’t. I don’t think we’ll ever know how Grayson would have fared if this had been a normal midterm. He certainly didn’t follow the playbook for getting reelected in a red district, but there is nothing to tell us he would have survived if he had. For the most part, though, our freshmen and sophomores conducted themselves honorably. That was not the case with more than a dozen Republican freshmen from the Class of 1994. They left mired in scandal, fraud, and divorce. Some, like Massa, didn’t even make it to the next election day.
But, never before in my life have I seen a class of crooks, cranks, kooks, and clowns like the one that has just been elected. To think that these people will conduct themselves in a way that reflects well on their constituents is straight-up delusional. And the Republicans should be forewarned, we won many seats in conservative areas because the incumbents had disgraced themselves. If they don’t want to take it from me, consider that New Orleans was represented by a Republican for the last two years. Why? Because our guy was caught with tens of thousands of ill-gotten dollars in his freezer.
We’ll be back in 2012 to make a run at the House. Bet on it.
