Only Time Will Tell

Now that the elections are past and the people have spoken it will be interesting to see what the professional Democrats will do. They are in a difficult situation. By in large the only ones who survived were either from radically left districts like San Francisco or they were Blue Dog conservatives.

So the question then comes, do the survivors cozy up to their radical base who came out and voted for them or do they move to the right where they will find centrists they could appeal to? My suggestion for them would be to move to the right. Try to look more like the country as a whole. Their radical left base will still vote for them. What choice do they have? They could vote for the Green Party, but they know that would be throwing their vote away.

If they move even further to the left, because that is who the majority of the survivors represent, they will become even more marginalized. Folks like Michael Moore are calling for this move to the looney bin area of the left. Just the other day he called for the President to "take off the little pink tutu". I feel certain he wasn't telling him to man up and get conservative. He was calling for him to be more like his idol Fidel.

We can see the struggle playing out before our eyes on national television. It is most vividly outlined in the battle for who will become the House Minority Leader. Heath Schuler, a Democrat from the mountains of NC has thrown his hat in the ring to try and wrest control away from Queen Nancy and the radical left of his party.

I don't know that much about Schuler other than he was a pretty good college QB at Tennessee. Could he be another Senator Sam Irvin of Watergate fame? I don't know if he has that type of stature. For the Democrats sake let's hope he does. If he can't oust Pelosi, the Democrats could be wandering in the political hinterlands for quite some time.

Now from my own personal perspective, I kind of want to see Queenie retain here leadership role. Now that the Democrats are no longer in an unassailable position of power, but are on the outside looking in, having Queenie at the wheel could be quite entertaining. Like watching a blind monkey trying to drive a Formula 1 race car. You can expect her to be going full speed as she drives them directly into the wall. Exposing even further the wackiness of the radical lefts position.

With folks like Pelosi, Sheila Jackson Lee, David Price and many many more, can the sanity brigade led by Schuler pull the Democrat party back from the brink? Or will the barking moon bats retain power and the Democrat Party become about as relevant to the majority of Americans as a bicycle is to a fish?

Only time will tell. Get a bowl of popcorn and get comfortable. This should be entertaining.
