| Even a partisan hack like Matthews can see it, so you can be sure the majority of Dem pols can see it. They won't change their tactics, they won't change their policies, they won't stop being ever so much more virtuous than the rest of us because they're ever so much smarter. They intend to ride it out and when things have settled down again in a few years they're looking forward to doing the same thing again. You can always count on Voter Deficit Disorder to kick in after a few months. |
Chris Matthews on Wednesday departed from the liberal media conventional wisdom that Tea Party candidate Christine O'Donnell's defeat of Republican favorite Mike Castle was good news for Democrats and President Obama. Quite the contrary, the "Hardball" host has become extremely pessimistic about Democrat chances to retain Congress in the upcoming midterm elections, so much so that he likened his Party to the Titanic. "The boat is sinking," he told fellow liberal David Corn. "The establishment is sinking."
When Corn tried to push back on Matthews' view, the devout liberal said, "I take O`Donnell. How many points are you going to give me?"
