Bloggers all over are making intelligent analysis and commentary on the Democratic landslide in yesterday's elections. Liberal Patrick Armstrong at HurricaneRadio graciously says,

First of all, I don't see this as a mandate, I see this as an absolute repudiation of the child-like behavior of this Congress. Pelosi & Co. didn't have to represent a really good hand to take this electoral pot, they just had to beat the awful hand the Republicans were bluffing on.

I doubt the actual Dems will be this realistic.

The Anchoress has plenty of thoughts, here are some of them. She's not happy with the MSM.

More than anything…more than ANYTHING…this election has given absolute carte blanche to the press, who may now operate openly and freely as the extended arm of the DNC Communications Wing. They will in no way attempt to restore faith with the American public. Hell, they got the job done, didn’t they? What’s to restore; clearly the distracted American public trusts ‘em just fine.

Frankly, the MSM is pathetic but still has influence.

GM Roper wrote an open letter to the Republican Party. He tells them:

You sat on your fat butts and spent like you were democrats. You refused to fight for the principles you were elected on. You broke your promise to the American people and they remembered that when they went into the voting booth. You fell down on the job.

There are some excellent comments to his post also.

The ever civil Ann Coulter actually lets loose with a rant.

In Franklin D. Roosevelt's sixth year in 1938, Democrats lost 71 seats in the House and six in the Senate.

In Dwight Eisenhower's sixth year in 1958, Republicans lost 47 House seats, 13 in the Senate.

In John F. Kennedy/Lyndon Johnson's sixth year, Democrats lost 47 seats in the House and three in the Senate.

In Richard Nixon/Gerald Ford's sixth year in office in 1974, Republicans lost 43 House seats and three Senate seats.

Even America's greatest president, Ronald Reagan, lost five House seats and eight Senate seats in his sixth year in office.

At Just Muttering, it is noted that there noticeablecable absence of Bush Derangement Syndrome today.

As for my, I'm going to panic. Why panic? Well, first off, panicking can be fun plus you get lots of attention. I'm checking out domiciles in which to survive the Apocalypse. It's time to read up and learn survival techniques. I'm honing my archery skills in the event I need to hunt and kill our food.

With enough time, the Democrats reach an understanding with terrorists that includes the deaths of thousands of innocent American citizens. Our lands will be given to needy illegal immigrants. Of course, we deserve this because we are evil people that have exploited others for decades. Many other ills will befall us.

Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep dark depression
Excessive misery
If it wernt fer bad luck
Ah'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair and agony on me

Yet, according to Democratic rhetoric we will all be living in a utopia by the end of January, 2007. Can't wait.

Or, maybe, everything will be OK.

I'm predicting a political cycle similar to the one that began two years before Jimmy Carter was elected. Democrats gain some power, probably the presidency in 2008. They show everybody, again, how lousy of a job they do. Terrorism will be dealt with ineffectively during their watch. Real Republicans will then return to power.
